Meet Paige

Paige’s therapeutic approach is centred on trust, curiosity, and collaboration. She aims to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences without fear of judgement. Her work with clients is grounded in evidence-based practice and tailoring therapy to draw on each client’s unique strengths.

Her clinical experience spans both hospital and private practice settings, including providing individual and group therapy for people living with chronic pain. These experiences have shaped her interest in exploring the mind-body connection in therapy. She has worked with adults and young people experiencing a range of difficulties such as chronic illness and pain, anxiety, perfectionism, stress, and challenges associated with adjusting to life changes.

Paige draws on evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness-based interventions. She flexibly adapts these approaches to suit each client’s needs and goals.

Outside of the therapy space, Paige enjoys spending her time at the beach, the gym, trying out new puzzles, and spending time with her loved ones.
