About Gregg
Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor who supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and intimacy-related concerns. He also helps people who struggle with self-esteem, codependency, attachment and other relational difficulties. Gregg writes plainly and offers a calm presence for people in distress.
He uses a relational, embodied and psychospiritual approach. That means sessions pay attention to feelings in the body, patterns in relationships, and deeper personal meaning. He pays close attention to unconscious dynamics such as transference and countertransference and how these show up in sessions.
Gregg has 17 years' experience working with people after difficult or traumatic experiences and during times of intense emotional pain. He supports people coping with loss, feelings of emptiness, overwhelming emotions and changes in self-worth. He also works with issues linked to sexuality and alternative sex culture, including kink and BDSM, when these are part of a person's struggles.
No concern is too small to bring to counselling, he says, and he encourages people to speak about what matters to them. He aims to provide steady support while helping clients notice recurring relationship patterns and find clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
Gregg trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Masters in Psychotherapy. He has worked in private practice and as a clinical director within a counselling placement service, bringing a depth-oriented and integrative outlook to his work.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Gregg works from a relational and psychospiritual perspective, combining attention to bodily experience with exploration of deeper meaning. This approach helps when difficulties feel rooted in long-standing relationship patterns or in a loss of meaning and identity.He also uses an embodied focus that notices how emotions show up in the body and how movement, breath and sensation relate to feeling states. This can be useful for people who find words alone don't capture their distress. Finally, his depth-oriented psychospiritual work looks at unconscious dynamics, such as transference and countertransference, to help reveal repeated patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gregg discusses options with each person and together they decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where methods are adapted over time.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during the day, and remove travel time. They also let people attend from a familiar environment and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
