I’m Gregory, a registered psychologist based in Calgary – here to guide you through life challenges. I am originally from South Africa, and was registered there as a counselling psychologist from 2016, before moving to Calgary in December 2018.
I completed a master of arts degree in community-based counselling psychology, providing me with extensive knowledge in the fields of psychotherapy, psychological assessment, and community psychology, and psychopathology. I completed my degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg – one of the top universities on the continent. I continued my training during my internship year at the Centre for Psychological Services and Career Development at the University of Johannesburg, where I was fortunate to work amongst psychologists from a wide variety of training backgrounds.
The result of an my intensive years of training is that I am now well equipped to work with a wide variety of . While many psychologists have chosen to specialize in specific types of therapeutic work, my chosen specialty has emerged as “psychotherapy” as a whole.
Before registering as a counselling psychologist, I spent some years working in Japan and Korea. I gained valuable life experience in the forms of both meeting people from around the world, and working in schools amongst people from vastly different cultural backgrounds to my own. This experience fostered an intense curiosity for the variations in individuality, from cultural and religious backgrounds to moral inclinations and future aspirations. Practicing in psychology affords me the opportunity to continue that exploration, while offering the privilege of being of help to people in achieving their imagined futures.
