Dr. Gaye Cameron , AASW

Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She helps individuals who feel stuck after loss, abuse, or major life change. Her style is calm and direct, with practical steps to help people cope day-to-day.

Gaye draws on a PhD and postgraduate study in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care to shape sessions around each person's needs. She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. This helps her match methods to what a person is facing and what they prefer.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals, emotion regulation and rebuilding connection. Techniques may include noticing unhelpful thinking, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and practising new ways of relating. Clients can expect a steady pace and collaborative planning.

Gaye has worked with people affected by childhood trauma, victims of crime and those recovering from addiction and domestic violence. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, body image, intimacy and ageing. Her practice pays attention to how past losses and attachment patterns affect current relationships.

Appointments are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are scheduled after a short matching questionnaire.

How Gaye's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that recur despite effort. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that keep difficulties going. It often helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in close relationships and helps people recognise and change interaction patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gaye works with each person to test what fits best. She adapts methods to a person's goals, history and how they prefer to engage, so therapy stays relevant and collaborative.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life while keeping focus on practical progress.
