Registered Provisional Psychologist

You wake up exhausted, struggle to get out of bed, and lie awake at night with racing thoughts. During the day you may doomscroll between commitments just to get through, feeling barely present. Daily tasks feel endless. On the outside you seem capable, but inside you feel empty. Together, we’ll harness your neurodivergent strengths, process trauma, and manage emotions, stress, and burnout.

Chris Graham

Chris Graham

Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).

Virtual

I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions. Many of the people I support are looking for counselling that is practical, confidential, and respectful of their professional context. For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.
