About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of direct counselling experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and codependency. He also supports clients facing relationship strain, parenting concerns, career setbacks and grief. Gregory’s tone is down-to-earth and practical when meeting someone for the first time.
He adopts a collaborative, person-focused way of working. Gregory believes the client is the expert on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. He adjusts techniques to suit each person rather than using a fixed method for everyone.
His practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions involve straightforward conversations, setting small goals and practising skills between meetings. He often blends listening with practical exercises people can use at home.
Gregory has worked across government, non-profit and private sectors, including child protection, mental health, drug and alcohol services and employee assistance programs. That variety shaped his focus on real-world solutions and clear steps for change. He also teaches in further education settings and offers consultancy work.
People who choose him can expect a reflective practitioner who welcomes feedback and adapts to what helps most. He offers telephone and video counselling and asks people to confirm current session options when booking. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Gregory uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-guided action rather than fighting every worry. It can help people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and setting small steps towards it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to steady emotions and improve focus.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT skill the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
Gregory provides online counselling by telephone and video, so people can fit sessions into busy lives more easily. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and schedule around work or parenting commitments. Confirm the current session options when booking to make sure the format suits your routine.
