About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of direct counselling experience in Australia. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, career concerns, addictions and relationship and family difficulties. He also helps people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strains, ADHD and other life changes.
Gregory uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He asks about current problems and what the person wants to change. He helps notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests small changes to see what helps. Sessions are collaborative and aim to produce concrete steps between meetings.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing when these fit the person’s goals. Those methods support managing anxiety, impulsive behaviours, addiction concerns and motivation for change.
Gregory’s background includes work across government, non-profit and private sectors. That experience informs how he supports people with workplace stress, first responder issues, family problems and fatherhood matters. He says people have strengths to build on and starts from those strengths when planning practical changes.
He offers telephone and video counselling. Before a first session he uses a short matching questionnaire so he can understand priorities and help schedule the first appointment. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Gregory uses CBT and related approaches for online work
Gregory commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioural changes. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, breaking problems into manageable steps and measuring which changes make a difference.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking value-driven action. Client-centred methods are used to listen to each person’s experience and set goals collaboratively. Together these approaches suit issues like anxiety, addictive behaviours, motivation and relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Gregory will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. He aims to choose approaches that fit the person’s day-to-day life and priorities, and adapts plans as progress is reviewed.
The biography states he provides telephone and video counselling. If you prefer other session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while keeping the focus on practical skills and homework between meetings.
