Graham Kennish
Short practical therapy for quick progress
About Graham
Graham Kennish offers a short, practical way to tackle stress, anxiety and related problems. He is direct about what he does and aims to show people whether his approach helps, often within two or three sessions. The first meetings focus on simple, repeatable techniques the client can use between sessions.
Graham uses a hands-on style that teaches gesture-based ways to reduce tension and clear thinking. Sessions are warm and supportive, but the aim is to hand control back to the client quickly.
Background and approach
People learn patterns they can practise at home so gains build into new, helpful habits. His work is aimed at concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, career pressures and depression. He presents the method plainly and gauges progress early.
Graham has 14 years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has used his gesture-focused method for many years and invites people to try it for a short period to see if it fits. If the approach does not suit someone after a session or two, he encourages finding another route promptly.
Clients can keep in touch for as much follow-up support as they prefer while they practise their new patterns at home.

Sessions & fees
How gesture work and mindfulness translate to online therapy
Graham uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's experience and preferences. This approach means conversations follow what the client brings, with the counsellor responding in a way that fits each person. It helps with emotional concerns like anxiety, depression and relationship stress because it keeps the work grounded in the client's needs.He also draws on mindfulness techniques which teach simple attention and breathing skills. These practices help people notice their body and feelings, interrupt unhelpful reactions, and build steadier routines for sleep, eating and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and make adjustments so the methods suit the client's situation and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether gesture-based practice, mindfulness exercises or a mix is best.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow demonstration of gestures and real-time feedback, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the day. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
