About Gregory
Gregory Egan is an AASW social worker with 11 years of counselling experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family problems. He also supports those facing addiction, grief, career change and parenting pressures.
Gregory sees each person as the expert in their own life. He works from a narrative perspective to help people make sense of difficult experiences and find different ways to tell their story.
Background and approach
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred listening when those approaches suit someone’s situation. Sessions are conversational and practical. Gregory asks about what matters most to the person and looks for strengths to build on.
He uses clear strategies for coping, behaviour change and staying present when anxiety or low mood are strong. He has worked across government, non-profit and personal settings, including child protection, mental health, drug and alcohol services and employee assistance programs. That background informs a flexible style that adapts to work, family and life stressors.
Gregory keeps learning and welcomes feedback to shape how he supports each person. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.

Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online therapy
Gregory commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult problems and reframe their experiences. This approach focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and looks for alternative, more helpful ways to describe those events.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop small, achievable behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregory will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits best. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with limited bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy into work, family or other commitments.
