Services

At The Psychology Paige, we provide specialist 1:1 therapy for individuals living with long-term health conditions, alongside evidence-based behaviour change interventions. Our aim is to support you not just in managing your condition, but in reclaiming a sense of control, identity, and wellbeing. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by low mood, struggling with anxiety, or finding it hard to stay motivated with lifestyle changes, our tailored approach can help you move forward with understanding, not judgement.

1:1 Therapy

Living with a chronic illness can affect more than just your physical health. Many people experience frustration, isolation, low mood, anxiety, or even a sense of lost identity. Therapy offers a space to explore these feelings, make sense of your experience, and develop strategies that work for you.

We provide psychological support for a range of long-term conditions, including:

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

• Chronic Pain

• Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

• Long Covid

You don’t have to “just cope”. Our sessions are collaborative, person-centred, and focused on your values, goals, and daily life, not just your diagnosis.

Behaviour Change Support

Health-related behaviours play a crucial role in managing long-term conditions, but changing them isn’t always straightforward - especially when fatigue, anxiety, or low motivation get in the way.

We can help with:

• Increasing physical activity in a sustainable way

• Managing fatigue and energy levels

• Sleep and rest routines

• Nutrition and eating patterns

• Medication adherence

• Managing flare-ups and uncertainty

Our approach blends Health Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support change that’s both realistic and meaningful.

Common Themes We Work With

Across all our services, clients often come to us navigating:

• Low mood and depression linked to health challenges

• Health-related anxiety, including fear of flare-ups or uncertainty about the future

• Loss of identity or changes to self-image following diagnosis

• Barriers to change, such as lack of energy, perfectionism, or fear of failure

• Feeling overwhelmed or stuck when trying to manage complex treatment plans or lifestyle advice

You don’t need a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition to benefit from therapy. If your health is affecting how you think, feel, or live - we’re here to help.

How It Works

All sessions are delivered online, offering flexibility and comfort from your own space. We’ll begin with a free 15-minute consultation to understand what you're looking for and whether we’re the right fit.

Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes, held weekly or fortnightly, depending on your needs.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

We understand how difficult it can be to ask for support — especially when you’ve been managing so much already. But you don’t have to do it alone.
