About Graham
Graham Kennish offers a short, practical way to tackle problems like depression, anxiety, stress and grief. He aims to help people see whether his approach suits them in just two or three sessions. Sessions introduce simple physical gestures that can change how someone reacts to pressure.
The focus is on giving people tools they can use between meetings to feel clearer and calmer. Graham uses an approach that doesn’t rely on a long-term relationship.
Background and approach
He greets clients warmly and teaches them how to use gesture alongside talking. Those gestures are practised in session and then repeated at home so new habits can replace old reactive patterns. Clients learn to interrupt automatic responses that feed feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck.
Over time the aim is for people to feel more in control and more confident in daily life. Graham has worked with this particular method for nine years alongside his wider counselling experience. He brings 14 years of overall experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That membership indicates a commitment to professional practice standards in the United Kingdom. Sessions can include guidance and follow-up as much as a person needs. If the first one or two sessions show the approach is not a good fit, Graham encourages people to try other options rather than keep going unnecessarily.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple present-moment awareness and attention practices. It helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement and can reduce reactivity to stress and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Graham will work with each person to decide whether gesture work, client-centred listening or mindfulness fits best for their goals. That exploration can happen over the first two or three sessions so people know quickly if the method feels useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work through exercises together and see demonstrations. Phone sessions are helpful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and suit people who prefer writing or need quick access during the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practising new skills consistently.
