About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years in counselling work across Australia. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction concerns and the problems that come from living around another person’s drinking or moods. He draws on practical methods to help people manage day-to-day problems and feel steadier.
Gregory works in a direct, collaborative way. He treats clients as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear strategies and small steps rather than long lectures. He adapts what he uses to what each person needs.
His clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets him combine practical skills-building with attention to values and what matters to the client. He uses these approaches for issues like grief, trauma, parenting stress, work pressure and addiction.
Gregory says he is a reflective practitioner who welcomes feedback and adjusts his work as needed. He has worked in government, non-profit and private settings, including employee assistance and counselling for victims of crime. That background informs his pragmatic focus and broad experience with different life problems.
He offers telephone and video counselling as part of his practice. If someone wants to start, they follow the site matching steps to book a first session and try how his way of working fits their needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, codependency patterns and motivation problems because it links values with practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternatives. It often helps with stress, low mood, anxiety and coping with relationship problems by teaching concrete skills and behavioural experiments. Client-Centred Therapy offers a straightforward, respectful way of working where the therapist follows the client’s concerns and supports their own problem-solving. This approach is useful when someone needs to make sense of personal experiences or feels overwhelmed by life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences and may combine techniques across approaches. That selection happens collaboratively in early sessions and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed. Practical benefits of online sessions include being able to fit counselling into a busy week and choosing a format that suits day-to-day life. His profile notes telephone and video counselling as options, but confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins easier, remove travel time and allow people to try counselling from locations that better fit their routine.Areas of focus
