Gregory Egan, AASW

Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of clinical practice helping people through stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. He supports those facing career strain, relationship and family problems, addiction concerns, grief, low self-esteem and struggles with motivation. Gregory works with clients who are dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, ADHD and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

He takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. Gregory treats the person as the expert in their own life and draws on people’s strengths to build practical change. Sessions focus on clear goals, short-term skills and real-world strategies that can be used between meetings.

His work uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing. He adapts techniques to suit each person’s situation rather than following a single method.

Gregory describes himself as reflective and open to feedback, and he adjusts his style to match what clients need. He has experience across public, non-profit and private settings supporting people with mental health, child and family concerns, and drug and alcohol problems.

Telephone and video counselling are available. Before booking, people should check current session options to make sure they fit their needs.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and to take steps towards those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear; it can help with midlife change, anxiety and low motivation. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s lead, which is useful for building trust and exploring relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gregory will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them for later practice. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Gregory offers telephone and video counselling, and people should confirm specific session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow some people to work with a therapist without changing location, while still keeping sessions focused on practical steps and skill-building.
