Paige is a provisional psychologist in the final stages of completing a Masters in Educational and Developmental Psychology. Before returning to study, Paige spent 11 years supporting children and adolescents with disabilities, mental health challenges and experiences of trauma across a variety of settings. This experience taught Paige that building rapport and creating a space where the young person feels heard are the foundations for facilitating meaningful change.

Paige has a particular interest in working alongside young people who are Autistic and/or ADHDers to learn more about their brain type, foster a positive self-identity and validate their differences. She also supports emotional regulation, mental health concerns, learning difficulties, self-esteem, and youth from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Paige prioritises incorporating inclusive and affirming principles into her work. Therapeutic support is adapted to each person, utilising aspects of frameworks such as Neurodiversity Affirming Practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS). Paige is also a trained facilitator of the Australian Childhood Foundation’s Bringing Up Great Kids program.

In addition to counselling, Paige thoroughly enjoys conducting cognitive, educational and ADHD assessments. She is endeavouring to undertake additional training and provide Autism assessments from early 2027.
