Before he turned 16, Greg Roberts left school in Ballarat and trained as a potter. A few years into his training in pottery he began practicing Tai-Chi, a form of martial arts embracing the mind, body and spirit. Greg grew to learn the art and practiced daily. A move to Barwon Heads from Ballarat prompted Greg to begin teaching Tai-Chi on the Bellarine Peninsula.
At this time, Greg also began looking into other career options. He trained in massage therapy and gained certification as a personal care attendant which saw him working closely with people in community health centres, aged care settings and disability services. In these roles, Greg noticed that people were drawn to him to talk about their issues and concerns. This prompted Greg to complete a Social Work degree at Deakin University. He felt drawn to the elements of reflective practice and counselling within this profession. During this time, he took on roles at both the Geelong Hospital and Bethany.
During a meeting at the Geelong Hospital Greg had a serendipitous moment when sitting in the cafeteria.
