About Gregory

Dr. Gregory Price is a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience. He works with people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, mood concerns, and life transitions.

He aims to create a welcoming space where people can be heard and start making practical changes. He uses a mix of approaches shaped over a long career that began with psychodynamic training. Over time he added methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method to suit different needs.

Background and approach

This variety helps him tailor sessions to what a person actually needs day to day. Dr. Price has worked in many settings, including government, mental health clinics, corrections, academia, law enforcement, and independent practice.

That background informs a down-to-earth style and familiarity with a wide range of life situations. He has supported people through grief, addiction concerns, mood disorders, and major life changes. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical steps, while also attending to emotions and relationships.

He helps people talk through communication problems, commitment questions, parenthood stresses, and the guilt or shame that often accompanies change. People who want straightforward, experienced guidance often find his approach helpful. He encourages prospective clients to consider fit carefully and to choose someone they can trust to understand their needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take action toward them even while difficult feelings remain. It often focuses on small, meaningful steps that reduce avoidance and build a more engaged life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on how emotions shape close relationships and aims to improve connection and communication between partners.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters to the person, what has worked before, and which methods fit current goals. They can adapt methods over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people check in from a quieter spot. They can also support shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or allow work that uses worksheets and behavioral practice between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
