About Gregg

Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, or problems with intimacy and self-worth. He explains complex feelings in simple terms and offers steady support when life feels hard or confusing.

He works in a relational, embodied and psychospiritual way. That means sessions pay attention to relationships, how feelings show up in the body, and deeper meaning or spiritual concerns. Gregg also pays attention to unconscious patterns that repeat in relationships, sometimes called transference and countertransference.

Gregg often supports people after traumatic experiences and during periods of intense emotional distress. He also helps with everyday but painful issues such as low self-esteem, bereavement, communication problems and difficulties with commitment and intimacy. He makes space for small concerns as well as big ones.

His training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Master of Psychotherapy. He trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and has been involved in training other counsellors.

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Gregg listens for recurring patterns and helps people notice how past relationships and present feelings connect. Together they work on clearer choices, improved communication and more manageable ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Gregg works from a relational, embodied and psychospiritual framework. A relational approach focuses on how current relationships and the therapeutic relationship itself influence feelings and behaviour. This helps when communication problems, attachment wounds or repeated relationship patterns are causing distress.

An embodied approach pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up physically. Noting breath, tension and posture can help with anxiety, panic and overwhelming emotions by giving simple, practical ways to regulate feelings.

Psychospiritual work explores meaning, values and spiritual questions alongside emotional healing. This can be useful for people facing loss of meaning, spiritual crises or deep questions about identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregg will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then help tailor the way sessions proceed. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where methods are chosen together and adjusted over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also makes it simpler to continue regular sessions during periods of change, while the therapist and client focus on practical tools and relationship patterns that matter most.
