Gregory Egan

Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of experience supporting people facing anger, stress and anxiety. He helps with depression, self-esteem, career strain and life changes. He also works with grief, addiction, trauma, parenting concerns and intimacy-related issues.

Gregory uses a practical, strengths-based way of working. He treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on small steps that make day-to-day life more manageable rather than long theory-heavy explanations.

His background includes work across child protection, mental health, disability services, victims of crime support, non-profit programs and employee assistance counselling. Gregory has worked in teaching and management roles and brings that variety of experience into sessions. He shares tools from approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive methods and mindfulness, matching techniques to a person’s needs.

Gregory aims to keep therapy collaborative and adaptable. He is open to feedback and adjusts the pace and style to suit each person. Practical goals, clearer communication and better coping strategies are typical aims in his sessions.

Telephone and video counselling are offered so people can fit sessions around work and family life. To start, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Gregory uses evidence-based approaches online

Gregory commonly draws on acceptance and commitment approaches and cognitive behavioural methods when working online. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-led actions, which can be useful for stress, anger and avoidance. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Gregory works with each person to test techniques and keep what helps. He adapts methods based on someone’s goals, stage of change and what feels workable in their daily life.

Telephone and video counselling are available in his practice. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. If you have questions about the exact session options, confirm the current formats before booking so they suit your routine.
