About Paige
Paige Whiteley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and depression. She has 15 years of experience working in independent practice and organisational settings across the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those dealing with loss or major life changes.
Paige adopts an integrative approach centred on the person. That means she connects with each client's needs and blends methods that suit those needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying limiting beliefs, building coping skills and making practical changes that fit everyday life. Her training path includes a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and earlier diploma-level counselling qualifications. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision and a post‑graduate certificate in psychosexual therapy.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Early work included one-to-one therapeutic support for children aged 5 to 11 and delivering staff workshops in a school setting. She also spent many years at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma-related difficulties.
Those roles shaped her focus on trauma, loss, and relationship strain. In her current independent practice Paige aims to create a calm, supportive space for people to talk through worries. She encourages collaboration and practical steps so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Paige uses evidence-based approaches in a straightforward way. Person-centred work puts the client's experience first and helps build trust and clearer self-understanding. This approach is useful for people coping with anxiety, depression and parenting strain.Her integrative method means she draws on different techniques to suit what a client needs. That could include practical coaching-style work to set goals and change unhelpful patterns, or trauma-focused strategies to help process past distress. Each choice is explained and agreed together so it fits the person's situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to test what helps, adjust methods as progress happens, and set realistic steps between sessions. The aim is to find workable tools that match the client's goals and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use non-verbal cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suits quick check-ins or for those who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around parenting, work and other commitments.
