Dr Jon Graham

I’m an experienced GP with an interest in chronic pain and mental health. I qualified in Medicine in Manchester in 1990 and undertook training in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in 2015 with the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. Feeling unhappy with the way modern medicine was treating people with chronic pain I was pleased to discover and complete the Freedom from Chronic Pain Practitioner Training in 2022 with further training in Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy with Dr Schubiner and Mark Lumley in 2024 and have found that these courses have transformed the way I work with clients with chronic pain through developing my understanding of the mind-body connection and the knowledge and skills needed to address internal conflicts and calm the alarm symptoms that frequently arise. I started offering brief psychotherapy for chronic pain in Manchester in 2021 and still work as a GP but have now also set up in private practice in Chester offering holistic assessments for individuals with chronic pain and treatment for mind-body conditions using Pain and Emotional Processing Therapy when required.
