Gregory Lazarus, PACFA

Gregory Lazarus brings warmth, humour and a steady focus on safety to his therapeutic work, creating a space where people can explore difficult feelings without losing sight of connection and possibility. He has built two decades of experience studying and practising a range of therapeutic approaches and now specialises in couples and relationship work, helping partners navigate the ongoing tension between the need for security - love, belonging and closeness - and the need for freedom - desire, adventure and distance. Gregory also explores how these dynamics appear in relationships with parents, other partners and children, and he works to help people reshape interactions that limit wellbeing.

He uses mindful awareness and non-violent communication in his work with couples, and adopts experiential methods to help partners practise new ways of relating together. Beyond relationships, Gregory supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting and family conflict, as well as a broad range of concerns such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, midlife questions and sexuality. He is listed with PACFA, the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia, and brings an evidence-based orientation to therapeutic practice. Gregory offers a collaborative, respectful approach and looks forward to meeting people ready to explore change.
