Gregg Palmer, ACA

Gregg Palmer MA, PG Dip, BSc Hons, ACA is an experienced counsellor with 17 years working in Australia. He supports adults with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, intimacy-related concerns and self-esteem difficulties. He also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, and issues around kink and alternative sex culture.

Gregg works from a relational, embodied and psychospiritual framework. He pays attention to how relationships in therapy mirror other relationships and to the emotional experience in the body. He describes unconscious patterns, including transference and countertransference, as part of understanding what keeps people stuck.

He has particular experience helping people after difficult or traumatic events and during periods of deep emotional distress. People who feel overwhelmed, ashamed, or lacking meaning can bring those concerns for careful exploration. Gregg also invites people to bring smaller worries when they feel important but uncertain whether counselling is warranted.

Gregg trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Masters in Psychotherapy, with those programmes validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is a Level 3 member of the Australian Counselling Association, ACA.

In practice he combines depth-oriented work with practical discussion. Sessions often look at past relationship patterns, present difficulties, and simple ways to test different responses in everyday life. He has worked in private practice and in clinical director roles within multidisciplinary services.

Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward adults seeking thoughtful, sustained therapeutic work. For international clients note that he does not accept them currently; check session options before booking.
