Graham Tebbit, MSc, MACP, RP (Qualifying)

You know what you are capable of, and Graham helps you understand what gets in the way.

You may know what you want to do, yet find that worry, distraction, or pressure keeps interrupting your follow-through. Graham Tebbit, MSc, MACP, RP (Qualifying), understands that gap through his psychotherapy work and his experience as a former collegiate and professional baseball athlete.

At CARESPACE, Graham offers counselling in Cambridge that considers both your emotional wellbeing and the demands of your daily life. Whether you feel overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, struggle to translate preparation into performance, or keep repeating patterns you want to change, you have room to talk honestly without being judged.

His approach makes space for the practical and emotional sides of change: what you need to do, what makes it difficult, and how those experiences have shaped the way you see yourself. You can work toward greater consistency without treating every setback as another reason to be harder on yourself. Therapy becomes a place to understand what is happening and develop a way forward that fits you.

You do not have to be an athlete to benefit from Graham’s understanding of pressure, emotion, and change.

Graham Tebbit, MSc, MACP, is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who supports adolescents and adults with concerns such as stress, emotional regulation, self-confidence, perfectionism, burnout, and life transitions. His particular focus on ADHD, anxiety, and high performance builds on that broader foundation; your reason for seeking support does not have to be connected to sport or achievement.

By combining psychology, exercise-science education, and counselling training, Graham considers how your thoughts, physical health, recovery, and environment interact. Your difficulty concentrating might sit alongside pressure to succeed, fear of mistakes, or a schedule that leaves little room to recover. Rather than reducing your experience to motivation alone, he helps you explore the whole picture. Your goals can include feeling more capable in everyday life, not simply achieving more in competition, school, or work.

Your sessions connect honest conversation with practical strategies and coordinated support.

You can expect a collaborative conversation about what brought you to therapy, how it affects your life, and what you hope will become different. Graham welcomes questions and honest feedback, helping you understand the reasoning behind your work together rather than handing you strategies without explanation.

Drawing on counselling approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), he helps you explore connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can support a different relationship with difficult thoughts while helping you take action guided by your values. Your work balances reflection with practical changes you can try between sessions.

At CARESPACE Hespeler Road, Graham can also coordinate with other practitioners, with your consent. During injury recovery, for example, psychotherapy may address fear and confidence while physiotherapy supports physical rehabilitation. The aim is a shared direction that respects both your emotional experience and your physical progress, with your priorities guiding the collaboration.

Graham’s training in psychology, counselling, and exercise science connects your mental health with the demands of performance.

Graham holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Hofstra University, a Master of Science in Exercise Science from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Together, these studies inform his understanding of how learning, behaviour, physical demands, and emotional wellbeing can influence your experience.

His graduate research background includes sports-related concussion and head impacts, adding context to conversations about the psychological challenges of injury and returning to sport. His further training includes integrating CBT with exposure and response prevention for anxiety, alongside focused education in perfectionism and sport psychology.

His mental performance work with the Brantford Red Sox has included preparation for competition, focus, and personal challenges beyond sport. Earlier baseball instruction also involved collaborating with physiotherapists and strength and conditioning coaches. These experiences help him discuss competitive pressure in relatable terms while recognizing that your needs do not end when a game, training session, or performance does.

When ADHD or anxiety interrupts your day, Graham helps you build skills for everyday life and high performance.

With ADHD, knowing what matters and being able to act on it may feel like different things. You might put off an important task, lose track of time, or become absorbed in one responsibility while others pile up. Your work with Graham may focus on making tasks easier to start, handling distractions, building flexible routines, and responding to frustration with less self-criticism. His own experience of ADHD informs his curiosity without replacing attention to what is different about your life. Together, you can explore why a strategy might help, adapt it to your responsibilities, and adjust when it is not working.

If anxiety leaves you replaying mistakes or trying to get every decision exactly right, Graham helps you examine the thoughts, expectations, and behaviours that keep you feeling stuck. Sessions can address performance anxiety as well as worry that follows you beyond achievement. CBT and ACT provide a framework for exploring more flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, with practical work shaped around the situations you are facing.

For high performance, your goals might involve preparing for competition, refocusing after mistakes, or rebuilding confidence following an injury or slump. Whether your arena is sport, academics, performing arts, esports, or business, the work considers your wellbeing alongside your ambitions. You can also explore perfectionism, burnout, sleep challenges, and the difficulty of allowing yourself to recover when you feel you should be doing more.

If you are a parent or coach, Graham can help you understand these pressures and develop more supportive ways to respond, without losing sight of your own role and concerns.

Graham has taken on challenges across sports and put his energy into supporting his community.

Beyond baseball, Graham has competed in boxing, swimming, downhill skiing, cross-country running, and basketball. He also brings a community-minded side to his work: he has supported fundraising for youth education and mentorship and run 150 kilometres in a month to raise funds for men’s mental and physical health. That combination of sporting experience and community involvement offers a glimpse of the person behind the professional credentials.

Take the next step with Graham and begin building a way forward that fits your life.
