Gregory Egan

Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He supports people working through relationship and family concerns, career difficulties, addiction, grief and major life changes. He also assists with intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, anger and compassion fatigue. Gregory works plainly and directly, listening first and then building plans together.

Gregory draws on more than a decade of experience in counselling and social welfare. He has worked across government services, non-profit programs and private practice in Australia. That background means he is used to practical problem-solving and to tailoring his approach to each person’s situation. He prefers a holistic view but adapts methods to suit what each person needs.

In sessions he treats the person as the expert on their own life. He looks for strengths to build on and practical steps to relieve pressure. Techniques are chosen collaboratively and can include talking through thoughts, practising new coping skills, and setting small achievable goals.

Gregory describes himself as self-reflective and open to feedback. He will adjust pace and style as the relationship develops. His work aims to help people increase functioning and feel more able to manage everyday stresses and longer term challenges.

He provides phone and video counselling services and asks people to check session options before booking. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches fit with online counselling

Gregory uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life-change decisions by focusing on small, value-driven steps.

He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need a steady, understanding space to talk through difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is another common tool he uses to help people spot patterns of thinking that fuel stress or low mood and to test new behaviours. CBT is practical and often suits people wanting clear strategies to manage symptoms.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Gregory will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences, adjusting as they go. Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic work rather than a one-off decision.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Phone or video sessions can make regular check-ins easier around work or family commitments. Because formats can change, confirm the available session types before booking to make sure they suit your routine.
