About Gregg
Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years’ experience in Australia. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, intimacy-related issues and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with family of origin issues and related patterns that keep repeating in adult life.
Gregg approaches sessions from a relational and embodied perspective. He pays attention to feelings that arise between counsellor and client and what those feelings might reveal about past relationships. He uses depth-oriented methods to help people notice unconscious patterns and the roles they learned in childhood.
In practical sessions Gregg talks through what feels most pressing. He helps people name painful emotions, examine how they relate to others, and try different ways of responding. He works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems and commitment worries.
Gregg’s background includes a BSc in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Master of Psychotherapy. The postgraduate and masters awards were validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is a Level 3 member of ACA and follows the professional body’s code of ethics.
He has also worked as a clinical director in a counselling placement service and contributed to psychosynthesis training programmes. Those roles involved multidisciplinary collaboration and supervising trainee counsellors. If someone is unsure whether their concern fits, Gregg encourages a brief initial conversation to discuss it.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Gregg works from depth-oriented and relational methods that focus on patterns formed in early relationships. These approaches look at how past roles and expectations show up in current behaviour and feelings, and they help people notice repeated ways of relating.He also uses embodied and psychospiritual-informed techniques that bring attention to bodily sensations and meaning. That can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone has a sense of emptiness or loss of meaning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods according to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and aims to find practical ways to change repeating patterns.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a busy week, can be shorter for quick check-ins, or remove travel time. Talk with him about scheduling and session length when you arrange the first appointment so the format fits your routine.
