About Gregg
Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of clinical experience based in Australia. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, addiction and a range of family and relationship problems.
Gregg describes his practice as relational and embodied, with a psychospiritual sensibility. He pays attention to unconscious patterns that show up in relationships, including transference and countertransference dynamics. Sessions are practical and straightforward - he listens, reflects what he notices, and helps people make sense of painful feelings.
People come to him when life has shifted - after loss, separation, or a major change - or when a persistent sense of emptiness or low worth interferes with daily life. Gregg will talk through what’s happening, name patterns, and suggest ways to try things differently between sessions. He does not limit issues by severity; smaller concerns are valid to bring to counselling.
His background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, and a Master of Arts in Psychotherapy. The postgraduate and master’s qualifications were validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Gregg trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and has worked as a Clinical Director of a counselling placement service. He is a Level 3 member of the ACA and works in line with the professional body’s code of ethics.
For adults wanting practical help with direction, relationships, or meaning after major life changes, he offers a depth-oriented counselling approach that focuses on relationships and felt experience.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Gregg draws on depth-oriented and psychospiritual approaches that pay attention to inner experience and relational patterns. Depth-oriented work looks at recurring emotional themes and how they show up in relationships, which can help with attachment problems, feelings of emptiness and repeated relationship patterns.Psychospiritual approaches bring attention to meaning, values and the felt sense of self. These ways of working can be useful for people struggling with loss of meaning, spiritual crisis or a diminished sense of self-worth. He also emphasises embodied noticing, helping people attend to physical experience alongside thoughts and feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregg treats selection as collaborative - he will discuss what feels most useful, try methods in session and adjust based on your needs and goals. That way the approach fits your situation rather than being imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make regular meetings easier to fit into a workday or family routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to continue work after relocating. Talk to him about practical arrangements so sessions can be scheduled in a way that suits everyday life.
