About Paige
Paige Whiteley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges and the effects of trauma. She also supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster and a wide range of related difficulties. Paige uses clear, practical language and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone worried and short on time.
Paige works in an integrative way. That means she draws on different evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. She focuses on spotting and shifting limiting beliefs that get in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions are centred on the client and paced to what feels right for them.
Her background includes a Diploma in Counselling from Joseph Priestley College and a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University. She also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision at the University of Central Lancashire and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy. Paige lists BACP as a professional credential.
She has over 15 years of post-qualifying experience working in private and organisational settings. That includes around a decade at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma, plus earlier work offering one-to-one therapeutic support in schools.
In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship, help people talk through painful memories, and develop practical coping strategies. Clients are encouraged to set goals and try manageable changes between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online support
Paige describes her work as integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet different needs. One commonly used approach emphasises person-centred work, which focuses on listening, building trust and following the client's pace to explore difficult feelings and memories. This helps when someone needs space to talk about loss, trauma or relationship strain.Another approach she references is trauma-informed practice, which pays attention to how past experiences affect current coping. This style uses gradual, stabilising steps and practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and build resilience after traumatic events or disasters.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can often adapt interventions used in face-to-face work for online delivery.
