Dr. Gaye Cameron, AASW

Dr. Gaye Cameron offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck in midlife and beyond. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and changes that can come with ageing. Her style is straightforward and caring, aimed at small steps that make daily life easier.

Gaye works in a way that centres the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now - coping skills, clearer communication, or making sense of past hurts. She blends talking therapy with techniques that build emotional regulation and personal insight.

Her background includes a PhD and postgraduate qualifications in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. Gaye has 11 years of experience and draws on that range to tailor how she works with each person. She holds AASW which reflects her social work credential.

Gaye commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotional connection and related concerns. These approaches are mixed to suit the person and their goals.

People typically explore practical skills in sessions, such as distress tolerance from DBT or strategies for better communication. The aim is to build resilience, reduce the impact of past trauma, and support clearer choices about relationships, work and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for midlife questions, anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns such as worry or avoidance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and improving how people relate to each other or to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gaye will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice often changes as therapy progresses and she adjusts the focus to match what is most helpful.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or differently timed check-ins. It also supports continuing therapy when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Appropriately qualified therapists will discuss practical arrangements and help plan sessions that suit everyday routines.
