About Gaye
Dr. Gaye Cameron helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression or grief. She works with individuals facing relationship and intimacy problems, addictions, trauma and self-esteem struggles.
As an AASW social worker with 11 years' experience, she focuses on practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Gaye draws on several evidence-informed methods to match the needs of each person she sees. Sessions are client-centred and aim to build calm, clearer thinking and better ways to cope with difficult feelings.
How Gaye works
She uses practical exercises, reflective conversation and skills practice rather than only talking about problems. Her background includes postgraduate study and a PhD in areas related to psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. This mix of academic and clinical experience informs how she assesses issues and plans therapy.
It also shapes how she supports people after traumatic events and during major life changes. Typical concerns Gaye helps with include addiction and substance-related problems, trauma and abuse, family and relationship conflict, and emotional regulation difficulties. She also works with issues such as body image, commitment and attachment problems, eating difficulties, and coping after separation or loss.
Gaye's style is collaborative and steady. She aims to help people notice what matters most to them, learn skills that reduce distress, and take small steps toward better routines and relationships. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat or messaging.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck because it focuses on what matters rather than fighting every difficult thought.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens carefully, reflects back what is said, and supports people to find their own solutions, which suits those wanting a gentle, exploratory process.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce distress and change patterns that keep problems going, such as avoidance or unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked for you in the past, and then suggest one or more methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone is a low-bandwidth option, chat suits shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
