Graham Maycock

Hey there!

I’m Graham (he/him) a counselling psychology student in the process of becoming a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I obtained my undergrad degree in philosophy with a minor in religion and culture. I enjoy thinking deeply about many of life’s important questions and how our answers to these questions impact the way we live our lives. After I completed my undergrad I built a tiny house on wheels and started a small construction business. During this time I also began the Masters in Counselling program with Yorkville University.

I was drawn to counselling primarily by an inner calling to help others. I see counselling as an opportunity for reflection, change and growth. I seek to provide an open, non-judgmental space for contemplation and dialogue when it comes to the many challenges we face in life. Some of these challenges might include depression, anxiety, overthinking, stress, burnout, anger, nihilism and emotional regulation to name a few.

At this time I find myself drawn towards three counselling approaches, namely client centred, solution focused and existential therapy. The client centred approach is an empathetic method that empowers clients to lead their own growth process. The solution focused approach is a goal directed method that focuses on solutions rather than dwelling on problems too long. The existential therapy modality explores the relationship between meaning and responsibility and how we can make the most of the short time we have on this earth. Together these approaches help foster a collaborative and contemplative framework that leads towards growth.

In my spare time I enjoy working with my hands, playing music and spending time with family and friends.
