Gregg Palmer, ACA

Gregg Palmer is an ACA counsellor with 17 years' experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and intimacy concerns. He also supports people working through self-esteem struggles, abandonment and attachment issues, and challenges linked to sexuality and alternative sex culture.

Gregg works from a relational and embodied perspective that includes psychospiritual elements. He pays attention to unconscious patterns that show up between client and counsellor, including transference and countertransference. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, making sense of painful experiences, and finding practical steps for day-to-day coping.

People contact Gregg for a wide range of issues from bereavement and loss to difficulties with communication, commitment, control or blended family dynamics. He also sees people dealing with addiction, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or diminished self-worth. Gregg stresses that no concern is too small to bring to counselling.

His training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and a Master in Psychotherapy, with counselling qualifications validated by the University of East London and accreditation through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is a Level 3 member of ACA.

Outside private practice he has worked as a clinical director in a counselling placement service and has helped with psychosynthesis training programmes. Gregg aims to offer steady, thoughtful support while people work through difficult or traumatic experiences and periods of deep distress.

How Gregg uses therapeutic approaches online

Gregg's practice draws on depth-oriented and psychospiritual work that looks at personal meaning, inner experience and the relationship between client and counsellor. This kind of approach helps people who feel a loss of meaning, strong shame, or ongoing patterns rooted in early relationships by exploring feelings and personal narratives in a steady way.

He also uses embodied and relational ways of working that pay attention to how emotions show up in the body and in interactions. These approaches can help with anxiety, attachment concerns and intimacy difficulties by linking felt experience to everyday choices and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gregg will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the pace and focus as understanding grows, so therapy stays relevant and practical.
