About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of direct clinical experience in Australia. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career and workplace difficulties, addictions, grief and relationship concerns. Gregory also helps people coping with life changes, parenting pressures, ADHD and issues around intimacy and family conflict.
He uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify what matters to them and what gets in the way. Gregory leans on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, combined with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. He aims to work collaboratively, drawing on a person’s existing strengths rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Gregory has a background across government, non-profit and private sectors including child protection, mental health, drug and alcohol services, employee assistance programs and teaching. That range informs a pragmatic style focused on real-life problems like balancing study or work, managing money stress, and repairing strained relationships.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying attentive to values and personal meaning. Gregory welcomes feedback and adapts his approach as therapy progresses. His methods suit people who want straightforward tools to manage symptoms along with conversation about values, priorities and next steps.
He offers services in English and does not take international clients. The cost of sessions varies with location and uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users follow the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Gregory commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action consistent with those values, which can be useful for feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and often helps with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.He also uses client-centred techniques that give space for people to lead the conversation and for the therapist to listen and reflect. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Gregory will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on their needs, goals and what feels most helpful in sessions.
The original biography lists telephone and video counselling as offered formats. If you need a different format, confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts at work or other commitments, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time so people can use small breaks for appointments.
