Feeling stuck? Anxious? Burnt out? Not quite yourself? That’s okay. Deciding to get support is already a powerful first step. I’m Paige, a warm and straightforward psychologist with over 15 years of experience across private practice, government, and community mental health. People who come to see me are often trying to “push through” on their own — until they realise it’s no longer working, or that it’s taking a toll on their health and relationships. ​

I lean primarily on somatic, attachment-based, and parts-focused approaches — working with not just your thoughts and feelings, but your body and nervous system too.
I help individuals who are navigating relationship difficulties, difficulties with self-confidence, and repeating patterns that feel challenging to shift. Therapy with me is a space to explore the complexity with curiosity and compassion, so you can make sense of what’s emerging, what’s not working, and move toward changes that feel more meaningful, relationships that feel more connected, and a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are or want to be. Often, patterns live not just in the mind, but also in the body, which is why I integrate somatic, attachment and parts-work approaches to therapy.

I am a registered clinical counsellor. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy as my main mode of practice. EFT is Person Centred/Humanistic. It is based on the Attachment and Identity theory. It also means that in therapy, I prioritise working on emotions. You may have learned to avoid and suppress your feelings, or they may have overwhelmed you. In therapy, I aim to support you in befriending and welcoming your feelings so they become a resource as they are meant to be and not a hindrance.

Many people seek therapy to reduce distress and find relief from ‘symptoms’. Therapy can also provide opportunities to examine and understand ourselves, notice 'stuck' or unhelpful patterns, and develop new, more satisfying ways to manage emotions and navigate relationships. I am a clinical psychologist who sees people seeking therapy for any number of reasons. I work with people experiencing difficulties in relationships, grief and loss, trauma (including complex and relational trauma), depression and mood disturbance, anxiety, chronic health issues, and stress.

Talking about emotional pain can be difficult, so I provide a warm, person-centred and safe space for individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction, anger, uni/work stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. To help clients overcome these challenges and bring about change, I adopt a holistic, trauma-informed approach of working with mind, body and soul, employing techniques from CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, the Gottman Method, IFS and Focusing-Oriented Therapy, and incorporate healthy sleep routines, nutrition, exercises and lifestyle.

You might be here because traditional talk therapy or CBT hasn't fully addressed what you're experiencing. The anxiety persists. The tension won't release. Patterns keep repeating despite your best efforts. You grew up walking on eggshells, reading the room, suppressing your needs. Now you experience chronic pain, IBS, or tension doctors can't explain. You feel numb or hypervigilant. Relationships feel insecure or repeat painful patterns. You want to feel safe in your body, stop managing symptoms, and experience genuine change. You need approaches beyond talk therapy—somatic work that addresses trauma stored in your nervous system

Are you feeling overwhelmed by complex trauma or navigating life as a neurodivergent adult? Many of my clients seek targeted support for emotional dysregulation, attachment struggles, or the weight of unmanaged trauma. They require a therapeutic space that is not only evidence-based but neuro-affirming, culturally responsive, and practical. They want clear steps and a clinician who explains the "why" behind every intervention. We help by prioritizing stabilization, moving at a pace that ensures psychological safety while building usable strategies for daily life.
