About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with 11 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, addiction, grief, parenting challenges and anger. He also supports those facing career difficulties, compassion fatigue and ADHD concerns.
Gregory frames clients as the expert in their own story and starts from strengths. He uses those strengths as a practical base to reduce frustration and regain control over daily life. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract concepts.
His approach combines several evidence-informed methods. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to find and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Client-Centred techniques keep the work collaborative and focused on the person's goals.
Gregory also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they suit the person’s needs. He adapts techniques in conversation with clients rather than following a fixed recipe. The result is a pragmatic way of working that aims to reduce reactivity and build better daily coping.
He is open to feedback and adjusts his style as needed. Gregory has experience across government, non-profit and private sectors, including workplace counselling and support for people affected by trauma and substance issues. This background informs a practical focus on what helps in everyday life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Gregory commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his online work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and reduce their power over choices. It can be useful for reducing impulsive reactions and building valued action. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life behaviour changes to reduce stress and reactivity. He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose techniques that suit the person’s goals, preferences and daily routines. Feedback and small adjustments are built into early sessions so the approach stays practical and relevant. His biography states he provides telephone and video counselling services. If you prefer a specific format, confirm those options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work between commitments, have a shorter check-in on busy days, or avoid travel time. The focus is on methods that fit your life and help reduce snap reactions and long‑term resentment.Areas of focus
