About Gaye
Dr Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship strain and addiction. She also helps people with intimacy and self-esteem issues and those affected by trauma and abuse.
Gaye uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new responses. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when talking about connection and attachment concerns.
Sessions tend to focus on practical skills and clear goals. Conversations include mapping unhelpful thinking, learning emotion regulation strategies, and practising communication techniques people can try at home. Gaye often works with issues linked to family roles, such as blended family strains, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
Her background includes postgraduate study across psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care, with a PhD among her qualifications. That training informs how she thinks about trauma, ageing and attachment patterns without making therapy more complicated than it needs to be.
People who meet with Gaye can expect a steady, problem-solving approach. Sessions are aimed at helping adults manage symptoms, repair important relationships and build routines that support everyday functioning. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them control behaviour. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to improve how people understand and respond to emotions in close relationships and can be useful when intimacy or attachment is a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that suit the person’s needs and adjust over time based on progress and feedback.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or using audio if bandwidth is limited. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and EFT techniques to remote sessions so practical skills and communication practice continue between meetings.
