"With over 30 years of experience, I help young people and families navigate anxiety, trauma, learning challenges, and life’s transitions with resilience and confidence."
Hello, I’m Graham Solomon. I have spent more than 30 years supporting young people in a variety of roles, and I am passionate about helping them navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. I hold a Master’s in Education (Guidance Counselling) from the University of Southern Queensland and am a professional member of both the Queensland Guidance and Counselling Association and the Australian Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools Association.
My wife Jackie and I have been married for 38 years, and together we’ve raised five adult children and are proud grandparents to seven. When our children left home, we became foster carers, opening our home to children and teens with complex behavioural, learning, and emotional needs.
Before entering education, I spent over two decades working in the food and building industries. At age 40, I earned my teaching degree (specialising in special needs) and went on to teach Manual Arts in both state and private high schools. Since 2013, I have focused on student wellbeing, working as both a Guidance Counsellor and Director of Student Wellbeing in a Prep–Year 12 school.
Over the years, I have helped young people address a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress management, device addiction, school refusal, self-harm, eating disorders, learning difficulties, and disabilities. My client-centred approach offers a safe, non-judgmental environment where young people can explore their thoughts and feelings. I draw on evidence-based techniques such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to empower them to develop coping skills and work toward their personal and emotional goals.
Healing is a journey that takes time, courage, and a willingness to be vulnerable. If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth and self-discovery, I’m here to help.
