About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker in Australia with 11 years' experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction and life changes.
He uses plain conversation to help people sort priorities and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer choices and techniques to manage difficult feelings. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to shape sessions around what the person wants to do differently.
Gregory treats people as the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. He can help with work and career stress, coping after loss, recovering from substance use problems, or dealing with control and communication issues within family life. He also works with parenting topics and fatherhood issues.
He describes himself as a reflective practitioner and is open to feedback. That means he adjusts how he works to suit each person, and tries different ways of approaching a problem if something is not helpful.
Gregory provides telephone and video counselling. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options that suit their situation. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete techniques to change patterns that keep problems going. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety and low mood.Gregory treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. If something does not work well, he will adjust the approach together with the person over time.
He offers telephone and video counselling, so sessions can be fitted around work and family routines. Telephone calls can be shorter or used for quick check‑ins, while video sessions allow face to face conversation and use of worksheets or exercises. Confirm the exact session options available before booking so they fit with your schedule and needs.
