About Gregg
Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience based in Australia. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related matters and low self-esteem, and he lists codependency among his focus areas.
Gregg offers direct, conversational sessions. He pays attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current patterns. He notices when people keep putting others first at their own expense and talks through practical ways to name and change those patterns.
His approach is relational and depth-oriented. Gregg also draws on embodied and psychospiritual ideas to help people feel what is happening in their body and meaning systems, not just the thoughts. He attends to unconscious patterns that show up between client and counsellor, such as transference and countertransference dynamics.
Gregg has a background in psychosynthesis counselling and a masters in psychotherapy. He trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and has worked as a clinical director in a counselling placement service, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
Sessions can be used for immediate concerns or for longer-term work. People bring small worries as well as big losses, and Gregg treats both as valid reasons to seek help. The practical aim in sessions is to clarify patterns, strengthen boundaries, and support clearer choices about relationships and self-regard.
How sessions work
How Gregg's approaches translate to online sessions
Gregg works from a relational and depth-oriented foundation which emphasises how patterns formed in earlier relationships appear in current ones. In practice this means he listens for recurring ways of putting others first and helps clients name those patterns so they can try different responses.He also uses embodied and psychospiritual ideas to bring attention to bodily sensations and personal meaning. That approach helps when feelings are overwhelming, when intimacy feels confusing, or when someone is wrestling with loss of direction or self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregg will discuss options with the client and decide together what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time as issues and priorities change.
