About Gregory

Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic, low self‑esteem and life changes. He supports people facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief and work or career difficulties. He also works with those coping with trauma, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles.

Gregory draws on practical talking therapy to help people find steady ways through hard times. He begins by listening and identifying strengths you already have. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and real changes you can use between meetings. He adapts approaches to suit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Over 11 years of practice, Gregory has worked across government, not‑for‑profit and private settings. His background includes child protection, mental health, disabilities, victims services, drug and alcohol work, employee assistance and teaching. That variety shapes a flexible style suited to everyday problems and complex situations.

He describes himself as reflective and open to feedback, and he invites collaboration about what will help most. Gregory aims to combine evidence‑informed techniques with a straightforward, respectful manner. He will work with you to set clear goals and practical strategies.

If you are unsure where to start he encourages a first conversation to map out priorities and next steps. The initial contact includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling information to proceed.

How Gregory uses therapy approaches online

Gregory commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking actions that match what matters to you; it can help with anxiety, mood and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, manage worry and change unhelpful habits.

He also uses client‑centred techniques that emphasise listening and building on your strengths. That means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters to you and helps you set goals you find useful. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process and he works together with clients to decide what fits best based on needs and preferences.

Gregory provides telephone and video counselling services. If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking to confirm what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in conversations when needed. He will help plan how sessions can work practically around your schedule and daily commitments.
