Gregg Palmer

Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience based in Australia. He supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and low self-esteem. His work also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and issues related to kink and alternative sexual culture.

Gregg uses a relational and embodied approach that pays attention to unconscious patterns. He describes working with transference and countertransference dynamics to understand repeating relationship themes. Sessions are focused on what is happening between people and within the client as they talk about their life.

He is open to people bringing concerns large or small. Gregg notes that feeling something is not important enough is a common barrier, and he invites straightforward conversations about whatever is worrying someone. Practical concerns such as communication problems, commitment issues, control issues, and separation are all within his scope.

Gregg trained in psychosynthesis and completed postgraduate study in counselling and a masters in psychotherapy validated by the University of East London. He is a Level 3 member of the ACA and works in line with that professional body's code of ethics.

In addition to private practice, Gregg has experience as a clinical director at a counselling placement service and has assisted with psychosynthesis training programmes. This background informs his clinical perspective and how he structures sessions with clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Gregg draws on depth-oriented and psychosynthesis-informed approaches. A depth-oriented approach focuses on exploring unconscious patterns and relational dynamics, which can help when repeating relationship problems or longstanding self-esteem difficulties are present. Psychosynthesis integrates different psychological ideas and looks at personal meaning, useful for people questioning life purpose or feeling a loss of meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gregg treats the choice of method as collaborative and will discuss which ideas seem most useful based on a person's present concerns, goals and preferences. He aims to match approach to what a client wants to address rather than imposing a single model.

The biography does not specify which online session formats he offers, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting, but confirm the exact arrangements available with him when you schedule.
