I have had the privilege of knowing Greg for sometime now. He has made me who I am today more aware of myself, my thoughts & feelings, and my everyday being. I am now very confident and ready to go out in that big wide world. Greg is always there to listen and to explain things to me in the most simplest way. I love having Greg in my now wonderful life and you will too.

Before I talked to Greg on the phone I was depressed and suicidal. I had recently broken up from a relationship and was full of guilt and self loathing. Greg listened and then enabled me to see my situation from a different perspective. I was then able to break the downward emotional spiral that I was on and start to make more positive changes in my life.
I would hate to think where I would be today if I did not make that phone call.

Greg has taught me so much - like how to treat others in the same way. No matter how different they are, we are all equal. When Greg comes in a room he always has a smile on his face and a glow in his cheeks and around him, no matter what. Greg is funny, kind and I can always trust him in what I say and know he wont tell anyone. Greg is my friend and I thank him for that.

Greg helps me to see the positive in any 'problem' I may pose to him, he has a way of cutting through my stuff - he throws light onto issues that previously were so murky that I could not see them at all. One of his best attributes is his ability to make me laugh - he can turn around a misguided thought in an instant with his quick and insightful humour, bringing a lightness to the situtation and allowing me to see things as they really are.
I would recommend Greg as a counsellor to anyone in need of clarity on a situation and for inspiration to live a fuller life.

Greg has many wonderful abilities as a counselor. Two of them are; to put people instantly at ease and to provide unconditional support. When you are Greg's client you have someone who profoundly believes in you and your innate ability to succeed in dealing effectively with your issues. Sometimes this is the first time clients have received this deep level of support, validation and nurturing from another. Greg immediately sees beyond the pain and hurt and self-judgments of his clients to the perfect Being within. He then helps them see the patterns which are keeping them stuck and the negative thoughts which anchor these patterns. He does this with patience, clarity, empathy, humour and with an honest and completely non-judgmental view. It is from this place of deep acceptance that healing occurs. I have recommended Greg to my friends and they are always glad that I did. ~

Greg has a rare combination of qualities which enable him to be a consummate counsellor. He is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met, able to love unconditionally how ever challenging a persons behaviour. When he speaks it is with understanding, wisdom, and where appropriate great humour. He is able to listen to both the spoken word and also hear the unspoken emotions beneath the words. His intuition is exceptional and he is always open to new ideas. I trained with Greg at Phoenix Rising and when we work together I am often an appreciative and willing recipient of his counseling. My recommendation of Greg is therefore from both a professional and personal perspective.
