About Paige
Paige Whiteley is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of post-qualifying experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression. Paige uses an integrative approach that centres person-centred therapy as its core.
She trained with a Diploma in Counselling from Joseph Priestley College and later completed a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Leeds Beckett University. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision from UCLan and additional postgraduate qualifications in related fields.
Paige links different evidence-based therapeutic techniques to a person-centred way of working. She aims to identify and change limiting beliefs that get in the way of everyday life. Sessions focus on practical conversation, reflection and gradual problem-solving rather than tests or labels.
Her early work included one-to-one therapeutic support for children aged five to 11 in a school, and running workshops for staff to help build relationships between pupils and teachers. She has also worked for a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma for more than a decade.
In private practice she sees adults with a range of concerns, including fertility-related distress, loss and bereavement, chronic health impacts, attachment and relationship issues, and blending families or adoption and foster care matters. She describes supervision and ongoing professional learning as part of her practice development.
How sessions work
How clinical methods meet online sessions
Paige uses an integrative framework built around person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and helping the client to make sense of their experience. This approach supports people working through relationship strain, parenting stress and anxiety by prioritising their perspective and goals.She also draws on trauma-informed techniques to address past harm and its ongoing effects. These methods aim to help people notice how distress shows up in daily life and develop safer, steadier ways of coping. When appropriate, she uses short-term structured tools to tackle specific problems like unhelpful thinking patterns or communication difficulties.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and together they will agree what feels most useful based on needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when life feels hectic. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so they work across a screen or phone call, for straightforward conversations, practical problem-solving and ongoing support.
