Gregory Lazarus, PACFA

Gregory Lazarus brings a calm, warm presence to therapeutic work, combining a focus on safety with a readiness to use humour where helpful. With 20 years of professional experience, he draws on extensive study across a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. He is particularly experienced in couples and relationship work, exploring the ongoing tension between the human needs for security - such as love, belonging and closeness - and the drive for freedom - such as desire, adventure and space. That exploration extends beyond romantic partnerships to the ways those dynamics show up with parents, other partners and especially children.

In sessions with couples he uses mindful awareness practices and non-violent communication techniques, and he works experientially to help partners develop the kinds of relationships they want together. He also supports individuals with anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, family conflict and other concerns that can limit wellbeing. Gregory holds the PACFA credential - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - and is based in Australia. He welcomes the opportunity to meet and work with people seeking clearer communication, deeper connection and greater emotional balance.
