Gregg Palmer, ACA

Gregg Palmer ACA counsellor has 17 years of practice helping adults with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues and low self-esteem. He works with experiences that leave people feeling ashamed, guilty, or stuck. Gregg supports people through both big losses and everyday difficulties that chip away at confidence.

Gregg uses a relational and embodied approach. He pays attention to the interactions between client and counsellor, and to the ways past relationships shape present feelings. He also works with psychospiritual questions when these are part of what someone brings.

His training includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, and a Master of Arts in Psychotherapy. The postgraduate and masters awards were validated by the University of East London and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He is a Level 3 member of ACA and works according to that professional body's code of ethics.

In practice Gregg often helps people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, self-hatred, loss of meaning, or a shrinking sense of self-worth. He also works with concerns such as addiction, family of origin issues, commitment or control problems, and sexuality questions including kink and alternative sex culture. He treats smaller worries too, not only crises.

Gregg has experience working in multidisciplinary teams and has served as a clinical director at a counselling placement service. He has also been involved in training programmes for counsellors, bringing practical experience into his sessions.
