Stephanie Pagio
BA Hons (Psychology) – MA (Counselling Psychology)
I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society BPS and and a Registered Counselling Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
My initial training took place in the United States, where I developed an integrative and trauma-informed approach to therapeutic practice. I work using a combination of evidence-based models, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Person-Centred approaches.
With over a decade of experience, I have delivered psychological assessments and interventions to adults across a range of settings. These include education, the judicial system, services supporting individuals with substance use difficulties, adoption support services, and within the NHS – particularly within Eating Disorders and Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services.
My Expertise
Alongside my private clinical practice, I provide therapeutic support to birth relatives and adopted adults. I am also part of the Student Counselling Service at the University of Oxford, offering psychological support to university students.
My particular areas of clinical interest include:
- Trauma and complex trauma
- Anxiety and depression
- Binge Eating Disorder
- Birth trauma
- Diabetes-related distress and burnout
- Persistent and chronic pain
I am an active member of the Beds, Bucks and Herts Regional EMDR Steering Group. In this role, I help support fellow EMDR practitioners by co-ordinating and facilitating ‘Research to Practice’ events aimed at bridging the gap between academic evidence and clinical application.
