About Gaye
Gaye works from more than a decade of experience and holds a PhD alongside qualifications in psychology, social work, psychotherapy and dementia care. She is an AASW social worker and brings that clinical perspective to each session. Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her rather than a single fixed method.
Her work often combines skills-based methods and emotionally focused conversations. That might mean learning coping skills for intense feelings, practising communication techniques, or looking at how past experiences shape current patterns. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage and focus on what matters now.
Gaye has particular experience supporting people after trauma, including childhood trauma and victims of crime. She also assists with issues around ageing and geriatric concerns, abandonment and attachment, and the stresses that follow separation or major life change.
People can expect a mix of practical strategies and reflective work aimed at building resilience and greater self-understanding. Gaye helps clients set realistic goals and develop habits that fit their everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and people wanting clearer direction in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often using homework and step-by-step strategies for stress, anxiety and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect and communicate, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasise skills practice, emotional exploration or a mix of both.
The biography does not state specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work when leaving home is difficult or when mobility and ageing concerns make attending in person harder. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and EFT methods to remote sessions so therapeutic tasks and conversations remain practical and goal-focused.
