Dr. Gaye Cameron , AASW

Dr. Gaye Cameron is a dedicated professional who has spent more than 11 years supporting people through complex and often painful life experiences. She works with those affected by trauma - including childhood trauma and victims of crime - and helps clients navigate life-altering events with practical strategies and compassionate guidance.

She holds postgraduate qualifications, including a PhD, with training across psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. In addition, she carries the AASW credential, which indicates her accreditation as a professional social worker. This combination of academic training and clinical experience informs a broad and considered approach to therapy.

Her practice draws on a range of evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supports emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. She also uses Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) where appropriate, and maintains a trauma-informed framework that emphasises safety, trust and collaboration.

Dr. Cameron adopts a client-centered stance, shaping each plan to fit an individual’s circumstances and goals. She focuses on building resilience, increasing self-compassion and developing concrete coping tools so clients can move toward meaningful growth and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dr. Gaye Cameron often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with Emotionally Focused Therapy to meet each person’s needs. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and strengthening relationships, which can be helpful for emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties. EFT helps people and couples explore and shift problematic patterns in emotional bonding, improving emotional connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Gaye Cameron works with clients to understand their goals, preferences and life context, and together they decide which methods best suit the work ahead, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions offer an audio-only option, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide real-time or asynchronous support between sessions. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives while supporting consistent, ongoing care.
