Dr. Gaye Cameron

Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing grief, trauma, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Her manner is calm and direct, helping people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Gaye draws on a mix of evidence-based methods to suit each person. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotion-focused work helps people notice and name strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-led change and coping with painful thoughts.

Her background includes postgraduate study and a PhD in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. That combination informs how she thinks about ageing and loss, and how trauma can affect thinking and relationships. She keeps sessions focused on what a person needs now.

Gaye commonly helps with stress, depression, addictions and intimacy concerns as well as attachment and abandonment issues. She also works with people dealing with the emotional aftermath of domestic violence and separation. Conversations aim to build coping skills and clearer communication.

People can expect straightforward feedback and practical strategies tailored to daily life. Gaye emphasises collaboration - clients set goals and she offers tools to reach them. This approach is suited to those looking for structured support through difficult transitions and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, grief and situations where someone wants to live well despite ongoing difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress, and teaching practical exercises to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and express core emotions, which can improve connection and resolve relationship pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences. That means checking in about what feels most helpful and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow focused check-ins between commitments. Phone calls can be a shorter option when video is not suitable, while video sessions let therapists observe body language and use visual worksheets. Discuss practicalities when you book so sessions suit your routine and communication needs.
