Welcome to Another Chapter Counselling
Another Chapter Counselling is a Kelowna-based practice founded and led by Paige Mathison, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and former psychiatric nurse. Paige works with adults who are navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and big life changes — offering a grounded, body-informed approach that meets you where you are. Sessions are available in-person at our Kelowna office and virtually for anyone in British Columbia.
A Different Kind of Counselling
Paige brings something most counsellors don't: she spent years working as a psychiatric nurse before becoming an RCC. That background shapes how she works; she understands the weight of a healthcare career, the culture of clinical environments, and how hard it can be to show up as a client when you're used to being the one in the room with all the answers.
Her work draws on somatic experiencing, a body-based approach to trauma that goes beyond talk therapy to help regulate the nervous system and process what the mind hasn't been able to let go of.
What makes the work here different:
- Dual professional insight: Paige's nursing background gives her a genuine understanding of healthcare worker culture and the particular toll it takes — not just professionally, but personally.
- Body-informed practice: Somatic experiencing works alongside traditional counselling to address trauma at the level of the nervous system, not just cognition.
- Kelowna-rooted, BC-wide reach: In-person sessions in Kelowna's downtown core, with virtual sessions available to anyone in BC.
How Paige Can Help
Counselling for Healthcare Workers
Meet Paige Mathison, RCC
Paige is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and former psychiatric nurse based in Kelowna, BC. Her background in psychiatric nursing gives her a clinical grounding that informs everything she does, and her training in somatic experiencing adds a body-based dimension that many clients find reaches places that talk therapy alone hasn't.
She works with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and major life upheaval, with a particular focus on healthcare workers and first responders who spend their days supporting others and rarely get a space that's genuinely for them.
Healing & Recovery Quote
Dr. Edith Eger | Psychologist & Holocaust Survivor
"Time doesn't heal. It’s what you do with the time. Healing is possible when we choose to take responsibility, when we choose to take risks, and finally, when we choose to release the wound, to let go of the past or the grief."
The Choice: Embrace the Possible

Frequently Asked Questions
The first session is a chance for you and Paige to get to know each other and talk through what's brought you in. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready for — it's as much about figuring out whether working together feels like the right fit as it is about getting into the work itself.
Yes. Paige offers a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so you can ask questions and get a sense of her approach before committing to a full session.

Counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor may be covered by extended health benefits depending on your plan. It's worth checking with your provider before your first session. Paige can provide a receipt for reimbursement purposes.
Counselling (with an RCC) is a regulated mental health service focused on therapeutic goals: processing trauma, managing anxiety, working through grief. Trauma-informed coaching is unregulated and tends to be more forward-facing and goal-oriented. Paige offers both. If you're not sure which is right for you, the free consultation is a good place to start.
