About Gaye

Dr Gaye Cameron is an AASW social worker with 11 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. Her practice also addresses intimacy, self-esteem and issues that arise in blended family situations.

Gaye holds postgraduate qualifications including a PhD in psychology and related fields. She combines knowledge from social work, psychotherapy and dementia care to form practical plans clients can follow. Sessions focus on clear steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her approach is client-centred and direct. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings. Gaye uses evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside emotion-focused work.

People come to her for a mix of practical skills and reflective work. That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety, rethinking communication patterns, or working through past trauma. She also helps with concerns that touch blended households, such as loyalty conflicts and changing routines.

Gaye aims to work collaboratively on goals and strategies. She explains options plainly and helps people choose what to try next. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's process for matching and booking a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them and take small actions consistent with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and situations where values clash in a blended household. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It suits people wanting straightforward tools to change thinking and routine.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows using worksheets, mood tracking and brief skill practices between meetings to support progress.
