About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, addiction and anger.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what is causing their upset. Gregory treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to reduce reactivity and manage difficult moments.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help with coping during life changes, workplace frustration, family problems and patterns that lead to repeated conflict.
Gregory aims to adapt techniques to each person through collaboration. He is open to feedback and changes how he works if something isn’t helping. This makes the sessions more useful for people juggling work, parenting and other demands.
Before moving into private practice he worked across government, non-profit and private sectors, including child protection, mental health, drug and alcohol services, and employee assistance programs. That background informs his practical, problem-focused style.
He offers both video and telephone counselling. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choosing actions that match what matters to you; it can help with anger that arises from avoidance or built-up stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to break unhelpful patterns, which is useful for temper outbursts and workplace frustration. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions and feel understood while working on relationship or parenting strain.Figuring out which approach will help most is part of the work. Gregory collaborates with people to test methods, adjust techniques and pick what fits their goals, lifestyle and preferences. He welcomes feedback and will change the focus if something isn’t working.
He offers telephone and video counselling, and people should confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an appointment. These practical benefits help people try strategies in real life between sessions while keeping therapy manageable alongside work and family commitments.
