About Gaye
Dr. Gaye Cameron is an experienced counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, intimacy questions and self‑esteem difficulties.
She works in English and practises from Australia, using straightforward, respectful care to help people manage what feels overwhelming. Gaye has 11 years of practical experience and holds postgraduate qualifications, including a PhD, in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care.
Background and approach
She brings that background to sessions in a way that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to each person. Sessions are built around the client’s goals and paced to suit their needs. Her approach combines conversational, client‑centred methods with evidence-informed therapies.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on values and action, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotional regulation. Hypnotherapy is also used where it may help with deeper relaxation and habit change.
Gaye pays close attention to trauma-related issues, including childhood trauma, survivors of crime and problems linked to dissociation and domestic violence. She also supports people with concerns about body image, addiction, coping after disasters, blended family challenges and ageing and geriatric issues. Sessions aim to build practical coping tools, improve communication and increase resilience.
People come away with clear strategies to manage symptoms and reach their personal goals. Her style is warm, direct and collaborative, helping clients make steady progress at a realistic pace.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Gaye commonly uses Hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habits and reduce stress, and it can help with issues like anxiety, sleep and habit control. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings, which suits ongoing problems such as depression or anxiety.She also draws on Client‑Centred Therapy, which emphasises listening and working at the client’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and respected and is useful when building trust after trauma. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for brief check‑ins, follow‑up notes or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain momentum and fit therapy into everyday life.
