About Me

---

Graham has been a therapist and trainer for over 30 years, specialising in the impact of disrupted attachment and developmental trauma. He is a UKCP-registered Integrative Child Psychotherapist, working in private practice and with specialist therapeutic organisations, where he focuses on Child Psychotherapy to support those in need.

Clinical Work

Graham has a particular interest in working with adopted children and their families. He has served as a parent consultant and trainer for several adoption organisations, including Adoption UK, PAC-UK, and PACT. Through his work, he has facilitated support groups, trainings, and webinars for adoptive parents, addressing vital topics such as Child to Parent Violence (CPV), school-related issues, anxiety, and trauma-informed therapeutic parenting practices.

Additionally, Graham works with SWAAY Child & Adolescent Services, where he provides specialist assessment and therapeutic support for young people exhibiting harmful sexual behaviours (HSB). He has an extensive background in somatic trauma resolution and prenatal and birth psychology, and is also an Accredited EMDR Therapist and an Accredited Child and Adolescent EMDR Therapist with the EMDR UK Association.

 Graham spent over 30 years in clinical practice as a Craniosacral Therapist before training as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist. Between 2000 and 2012, he co-founded and served as Joint Principal of the Institute of Craniosacral Studies, helping to train the next generation of practitioners. Today, this extensive experience continues to inform his psychotherapy and EMDR practice, bringing an integrative, body-aware understanding of trauma, attachment and emotional wellbeing.

Teaching & Practice

In addition to his clinical practice, Graham is a faculty member at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading, where he teaches anatomy to acupuncture students. 

After spending over 15 years studying and teaching Japanese martial arts, he switched to the Chinese internal arts, practising and teaching Qi Gong for health and personal development for over 30 years under Master Chris Chappell. He is passionate about helping students achieve optimal levels of health and wellbeing and has also explored both Taoist and Buddhist forms of meditation.
