Find a Therapist

George Wahba

My therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Somatic Therapy models to help you navigate life’s challenges and thoughts in a way that aligns with your core values. At the heart of this work is the therapeutic relationship, which provides a safe space so you may explore your vulnerabilities. Grounded in trauma-informed care, my approach will support you in reconnecting with your values and spirituality, empowering you to engage more fully and authentically in your relationships and life overall.

Coltan Thompson

I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies and skills while simultaneously working through the causes of issues. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving your understanding of your emotions, finding life-direction, resolving internal conflicts, or making peace with past experiences. Everyone’s needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach.

Chris Graham

My own practice is focussed on working with men and professional pilots. I spent over 20 years as a professional pilot, from air ambulance to airline, and I have developed a strong ability to assess risk.

My training included a sound academic base and focussed on the soft skills of professional counselling such as listening and attending, making sure a client is seen and heard. I continue taking further training, particularly in areas that have evidence of being effective in treating trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. My approach is client centered, trauma informed  and can include the modalities of EMDR, narative therapy, CBT, REBT, parts work (IFS), and somatic elements.
