About Gaye
Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with people dealing with trauma, addiction, self-esteem and intimacy-related problems. Her style is practical and centred on understanding what matters most to each person.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match the person's needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clarify feelings and improve emotional connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to live by their values, even when difficult thoughts arise.
Gaye has postgraduate qualifications including a PhD in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. That background shapes how she tailors sessions, with attention to trauma and to practical coping strategies. She aims to help people build resilience and self-compassion over time.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple tools you can use between meetings. Expect a respectful, collaborative approach that looks at thoughts and everyday habits as they affect mood and relationships. The work often includes learning new ways to manage strong emotions and improve communication.
People who choose Gaye usually want a structured yet warm approach. She balances evidence-informed methods with attention to each person's story. If you want someone who listens and helps you try small changes, she offers that kind of practical support.

How Gaye’s approaches fit with online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions tied to their values. Online work can use ACT exercises to clarify what matters and set small behavioural steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical tasks to change patterns. CBT translates well to online sessions through thought records, behavioural experiments and homework tasks. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses to improve connection and understanding in relationships. When done remotely, EFT sessions can still guide people to recognise and name emotions and try new ways of relating.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice may change over time as issues become clearer and progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to join from different locations. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can still include exercises, homework and focused skill-building to help with thoughts and everyday habits without needing to be in the same room.
