Graham Hagger Registered MBACP Counsellor/CBT Therapist.

About me

Hi and thank you for viewing my profile, I am a fully qualified and experienced Person- Centred Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and a Sexual Minority Therapist. As a counsellor I will create, a safe therapeutic place where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, without feeling someone is judging you.

I work with clients suffering from addiction, and the affect it can have on family, love ones and friends. I work with consequence therapy, which can help the client understand what is happening to them and their relationships. This is an intense six-hour course of therapy spread over six weeks.  I have worked with clients who were suffering from gambling, drink, drug and sex addictions to name some of the most common addictions. I have clients who regular keep in touch informing me that the strategies we worked on are still working. If you think you might benefit from this type of therapy give me a call, and we can arrange a no obligation session.

Feeling helpless and unable to cope can be an overwhelming and lonely experience, which is often hard to share with someone. I offer a private and confidential counselling service and together we will tailor sessions that are best suited for you. I know it can be quite daunting seeing a counsellor for the first time, but you have already taken the first steps, just logging on to the directory. One more step and we can then start working on the issues that are troubling you.

I also work with couples who are going through difficult times with their relationships, offering a safe place where they can feel valued and listen too, where they can talk about their issues without feeling they are not being taken seriously. I work with couples who are having difficulties over infidelity, debut issues, addiction and sometimes just not feeling listen to, or feeling important anymore

Counselling may help you if you

*Have unresolved issues from the past
*Are feeling the loss of someone close
*Feel Sad, Anxious or Depressed  
*Feel the need to always please others
*Have recently had change in circumstance

*Feeling something isn't quite right but you’re unsure what /why
*Feel your anger is affecting your relationships/work

For quite number of years I have worked with a client group suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the effect it can have on the sufferer. Anger, depression, alcohol /drug misuse, feeling isolated and that no one understands what going on for them. PTSD can have a devastating effect on the sufferer and their families and loved ones but with help and understanding, they can move on and gain control back of their lives. I have also worked with Victim Support as a counselor helping people who have suffered from trauma gain control back of their lives.

I work in an integrative way and use the best therapies that best suit you and your needs. I regularly work with a variety of issues including low self-esteem/confidence, anxiety/stress, depression, anger and the long-term effects of different kinds of abuse. I regularly work with clients suffering from various kinds of trauma, historical sexual abuse, both male and female, and understand how difficult it can be to open up and talk about this subject.  I believe in the importance and significance of the client/therapist relationship and the nurturing of which is instrumental to the therapeutic process.

As a member of the BACP, I work ethically and am fully committed to the principals of confidentiality and client safety. Let me help you find your way back, Let me help you to find you.
