Gregg Palmer, ACA

Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience helping adults through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and intimacy concerns. He names midlife crisis among the life transitions he supports and aims to offer calm, thoughtful presence when things feel overwhelming. Gregg works in a way that values emotional honesty and real human connection.

His style blends relational and embodied work with psychospiritual ideas. He pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships, including unconscious dynamics such as transference. Sessions typically involve talking through feelings, noticing unhelpful patterns, and practising small changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Gregg has particular experience with trauma, deep shame, loss of meaning and low self-worth. He also helps with concerns like addiction, codependency, body image and communication problems. He encourages people to bring whatever matters to them, even things that feel too small to mention.

His qualifications include a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Master of Psychotherapy. The postgraduate and masters awards were validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Outside private practice, Gregg has worked as a clinical director in a counselling placement service and assisted with psychosynthesis training programmes. That experience informs his collaborative, depth-oriented approach to therapy.

Approaches that inform online work

Gregg draws on depth-oriented, relational ways of working that notice how past relationships shape present feelings. This approach helps when repeating patterns - for example, commitment issues, abandonment fears or communication problems - are causing distress.

He also incorporates embodied and psychospiritual perspectives, which pay attention to how emotions show up in the body and to questions of meaning. Those strands can be useful for people facing emptiness, grief, or shifts in life purpose during midlife.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gregg will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. He tailors sessions as those needs change over time rather than applying a single formula.

Practically, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic.

Many people find that remote sessions help maintain momentum between appointments and make scheduling more flexible.
