About Gaye
Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW-accredited social worker with 11 years of experience helping people through hard times. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with addiction. Gaye aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people under pressure.
She uses a client-centred way of working that begins by listening to what matters most to each person. From there she helps clients set small, achievable goals and practises skills that can be used between sessions. Sessions are framed to build resilience and self-compassion while tackling specific problems like communication breakdowns or alcohol and drug issues.
Gaye combines a few different therapeutic methods depending on what suits the person. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and emotionally focused work to improve connection and understanding in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques are also used where they fit the client’s needs.
Her background includes postgraduate study and a PhD covering psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. This gives a broad perspective on emotional and behavioural difficulties, and on living with long-term change or loss.
People who are coping after traumatic events, including natural or human-caused disasters, often seek her support. Gaye aims to work at the client’s pace, helping them develop practical strategies and clearer thinking as they rebuild a sense of safety and direction.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits stress, mood concerns and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and interaction patterns to improve connection and communication in relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as practical needs and priorities shift.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or sessions can avoid travel time. It also allows continuity of care after disruptive events and supports regular skill practice between appointments. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt techniques like CBT exercises, ACT values work and EFT tasks so they work well in remote sessions.
