About Gregg

Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience working with adults in Australia. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues and low self-esteem. Gregg also helps with concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, addiction, and family of origin issues.

Gregg works from a relational and embodied perspective that includes psychospiritual elements. He pays attention to unconscious processes and the ways feelings and expectations can be passed between client and counsellor. Sessions focus on speaking honestly about what matters and noticing patterns that keep causing pain.

People come to him after traumatic experiences, during intense emotional distress, or when life feels empty or overwhelming. He says there is no concern too small to bring to counselling and that everyday worries can be worth discussing as much as major crises. Sessions are practical and reflective, aiming to clarify what is happening now and how past patterns are showing up.

His training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Masters in Psychotherapy, with those postgraduate qualifications validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Gregg trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and is a Level 3 member of ACA.

In addition to private practice, he has worked as a clinical director for a counselling placement service and contributed to psychosynthesis training programmes. He can discuss before you book whether his approach fits the particular issue you want to address.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Gregg draws on depth-oriented and psychospiritual approaches alongside relational and embodied work. Depth-oriented work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour, which can help with attachment, abandonment and relationship difficulties. Psychospiritual elements invite attention to meaning, values and inner experience, which can be useful for people facing emptiness or spiritual crisis.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the approach as therapy progresses. That shared testing helps discover what actually helps in day-to-day life.

The biography does not specify the precise session formats offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care when schedules change, while the therapist and client agree on practical arrangements that suit their routines.
