You're looking for a psychologist who is down-to-earth, calm and genuinely interested in understanding the whole person rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis or a set of symptoms. You may be trying to make sense of difficult or traumatic experiences, struggling with anxiety, dealing with challenges at work, wanting to make changes to your health or behaviour, or finding that experiences from the past continue to affect you in the present. Gaye may be a particularly good fit for first responders or people who have experienced crime or trauma and would value working with someone whose understanding is shaped not only by psychology, but by many years working within emergency services, investigation, child protection and domestic abuse. Gaye's Approach As Gaye puts it, "I'll walk side by side with you to make sense of it all. Together we'll explore how the pieces in your puzzle fit together." Her approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in curiosity, deep listening and empathy. Sessions are grounded in evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while keeping the person and what they find most helpful central. A Little About Gaye After some time away from psychology following a sports accident, Gaye has returned to practice. These days, you'll find her permanently seated and wheeling around Willow Tree. Her love of the outdoors and nature remains, and she considers it a privilege to hear the stories and experiences people choose to share with her. Appointments In-person at Willow Tree Psychology & Wellbeing in Felixstow, Adelaide, with Telehealth available Australia-wide where clinically appropriate. www.willowtreepsychology.com.au | 08 82330828 | info@willowtreepsychology.com.au
