About Gaye

Dr. Gaye Cameron is an AASW professional accredited social worker with 11 years of clinical practice in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem problems.

Gaye draws on postgraduate study including a PhD in psychology, social work and psychotherapy. She uses evidence-informed methods and practical conversation to help people make small, usable changes. Sessions focus on clear strategies, real-life skills and understanding how past experiences affect present reactions.

Her work blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to help with emotional regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, difficult relationships and trauma-related responses. Gaye also works with issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, body image, addictions and separation.

In sessions she offers what might be described as client-centred discussion plus structured tools. People can expect behavioural experiments, values-focused planning and practical skill-building alongside time to make sense of painful experiences. The focus is on what helps day-to-day functioning.

Gaye practises in Australia and delivers therapy in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment.

How Gaye uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to clarify values and small behavioural steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviours with practical tools such as thought records and behavioural experiments that people can practice during the week. Client-Centred Therapy provides time to talk through experiences and have them reflected back, supporting clearer decisions about change and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gaye will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to emphasise. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as the sessions progress to suit what is helping most.

The therapist's online arrangements are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and family commitments. It also allows for different ways to work - for example shorter check-ins if time is tight, audio-only at times when video isn't convenient, or exercises that use everyday settings rather than a clinic room. Discuss practical needs when you book so sessions can be shaped to your schedule and goals.
