About Gaye
Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years' experience helping people manage anxiety, stress and relationship strain. She uses a calm, practical style and focuses on what a person can do now to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Gaye listens for what matters most to each person and adapts sessions to those needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centred work to follow the person's pace.
Background and approach
This simple mix helps people develop clearer choices and small, workable changes. Her background includes postgraduate study and a PhD in areas spanning psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. That broad training informs a flexible approach when people bring trauma, grief, or addiction concerns.
She pays attention to safety and collaboration when trauma is part of the story. Gaye also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy to help with emotional regulation and from emotionally-focused work to strengthen how people relate to others. Sessions aim to build resilience, reduce overwhelm and improve self-esteem through steady practice and reflection.
People who see her can expect practical strategies, gentle challenge and time to process difficult experiences. She supports exploration of identity, intimacy and family issues while helping clients find ways to move forward at their own pace.
How therapy approaches translate into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take values-based steps forward; this approach is useful for anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses and improving connection in close relationships; it can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gaye will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until you both find what helps. That means starting with the issues you bring, agreeing on practical steps, and reviewing progress together as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, phone sessions are useful when video is not possible, and messaging or chat can suit brief check-ins or when shorter, flexible contact is needed. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments while still accessing appropriately qualified therapists.
