Graham Hocking
Languages Spoken:
- English
With over 25 years' experience in the people helping field, and over 3500 hours of clinical practice of Counselling and Holistic Kinesiology.
Graham is a caring and empathetic counsellor who journeys with men and women as they learn about themselves.
As a nationally registered counsellor and intuitive relationship therapist, Graham’s work is informed by a long-standing in-depth study of human personality development and psychopathology. This includes the exploration of intra-psychic and interpersonal dynamics, and latterly, with a particular focus on the Authenticity Vs Attachment paradigm that exists within all of us that is eloquently articulated in the lifetime work of Dr Gabor Mate, renowned Hungarian-Canadian researcher, physician and author.
Graham understands the numerous challenges life can bring and has significant experience in working with Individuals & Couples who seek change in their personal lives.
Individuals – Graham has accumulated extensive clinical practice in supporting individuals whose lives are affected by anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self-esteem, life transitions, grief & loss and a wide range of personal challenges.
Men’s Issues – supporting men through times of transitions, exploring modern day masculinity, crisis of meaning (life purpose) and mid-life issues.
Imagine being able to speak honestly to someone about how you really feel, without the fear of being judged, ridiculed or criticised. We also know that you might feel reluctant or hesitant at the thought of opening up in counselling.
However, the feedback Graham’s had from many men is that they've found their conversations to be most effective and validating, that help them to understand what their underlying issues are, and to face the hidden feelings driving their problems.
Graham established the Authentic Man Project™ in 2018, and facilitates Authentic Man Project™ Focus Group throughout the year at Park Orchards and North Fitzroy locations in Melbourne to support men’s wellbeing.
The mind-body science of “Holistic Kinesiology” is a proven, powerful tool in getting to underlying issues, many that lie beyond consciousness, yet determine attitudes and beliefs that cause habitual physical and emotional pain and suffering. By working together, we can recover your sense of wellbeing and vitality by overcoming feeling stuck with physical or emotional pain.
