Gregg Palmer

Gregg Palmer is a counsellor with 17 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. Gregg writes plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady support during painful or confusing times.

Gregg uses a relational and embodied approach that pays attention to how people relate to others and to themselves. He also draws on psychospiritual ideas and pays attention to unconscious dynamics that appear in the therapy relationship. Sessions aim to make these patterns clearer so clients can try different ways of responding.

People come to him with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image and identity worries, blended family tensions, and difficulties around intimacy and alternative sexual cultures. He also supports those dealing with addiction, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Masters in Psychotherapy. The postgraduate and masters programmes were validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Gregg is a Level 3 member of the Australian Counselling Association, ACA.

In sessions Gregg keeps language direct and practical. He helps clients name what's happening, notice patterns in feelings and behaviour, and practise new ways of relating. People often use counselling to find steadier ways of coping and to rebuild a clearer sense of self.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Gregg draws on depth-oriented, relational work that pays attention to the way people connect with others and with themselves. This approach helps when patterns in relationships keep repeating or when attachment wounds shape how someone reacts in close relationships.

He also uses embodied and psychospiritual approaches that attend to bodily experience and questions of meaning or spiritual distress. These methods can help people reconnect with emotions held in the body and explore life questions that influence mood and identity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gregg works with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding grows.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work or caregiving. It can also allow a shorter check-in when needed or let people choose not to use video if that helps them engage better.
