Gregory Lazarus, PACFA

Gregory Lazarus offers calm, practical support for people facing midlife questions, relationship strain, anxiety and depression. He brings warmth, a touch of humour and a steady presence to sessions. Gregory aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about fear, longing and the small daily pressures that build up over time.

He has around 20 years of experience and holds PACFA accreditation, which he uses alongside many years of study and varied practice. Gregory often focuses on relationship tensions such as wanting both closeness and freedom. He also helps individuals deal with trauma, grief, parenting stress and the effects of long-term anxiety or low mood.

In sessions he draws on mindful awareness and non-violent communication to help people notice patterns and practise different ways of responding. Work is often experiential - trying new ways of talking and relating in the room so those skills can be used in daily life. The emphasis is on simple, usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Gregory invites clients to look at attachment wounds, communication breakdowns and issues like guilt, shame or isolation. He can support those navigating divorce, complex relationship structures or questions of sexuality and life purpose. Sessions aim to clarify what really matters and to build practical steps toward more satisfying relationships and daily living.

He works in Australia and conducts therapy in English. People who are considering therapy are encouraged to reflect on what they want to change and to start with a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Gregory commonly uses mindful awareness and non-violent communication in his clinical work. Mindful awareness involves noticing thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations so people can respond rather than react; it can help with anxiety, low mood and emotional reactivity. Non-violent communication focuses on clear, compassionate expression of needs and listening skills to reduce conflict and improve closeness in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gregory will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a client’s goals, preferences and practical needs. The choice of technique is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings also let clients continue work when relocation or busy schedules would otherwise interrupt progress.
