About Gregory

Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker who focuses on men's wellbeing and a wide range of life stresses. He helps with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, relationship and family concerns, career issues, parenting and difficulties with self-esteem. Gregory uses direct, practical conversations to help people find clearer next steps and rebuild confidence.

He takes a holistic, strengths-based approach and treats the person, not just the problem. Gregory listens first, then works with each person to choose simple strategies that fit their life. He adapts methods to suit different needs rather than using one fixed style.

Over 11 years he has worked across government, non-profit and private settings in areas such as child protection, mental health, drug and alcohol services, employee assistance programs and victim support. That background informs how he supports people with practical problems and complex histories.

Gregory describes himself as reflective and open to feedback, and he adjusts his approach as clients learn what works for them. He emphasises collaboration and building on the strengths people already have to manage change and cope with setbacks.

Sessions are offered in English and provided from Australia. Gregory provides telephone and video counselling services. If you want a straightforward, goal-focused conversation about what is troubling you, he aims to make the process clear and manageable.

How Gregory uses ACT, CBT and client-centred ideas online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers clear exercises to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, mood and unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy creates a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and the therapist follows, which supports people finding their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will talk with each person about what they want to change and try methods together to see what fits. He adapts techniques to the individual rather than prescribing a single model, and makes decisions with the client about goals and next steps.

Gregory provides telephone and video counselling services. Check and confirm the current session options before booking so they match your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can attend more consistently.
