About Paige
Paige Whiteley is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of post-qualifying experience in private and organisational practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression. Paige uses an integrative approach and focuses on identifying limiting beliefs that keep people stuck.
She trained at Joseph Priestley College and completed a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Leeds Beckett University. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision from UCLAN and a postgraduate certificate in psychosexual therapy. Her background includes school-based one-to-one therapeutic work with children aged five to eleven and designing staff workshops to improve relationships in educational settings.
Paige spent many years working in a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma, loss and related mental health issues. That role involved ongoing training in trauma-related areas and several years providing organisational mental health support to clients aged 18 and over.
In session she draws on person-centred therapy at her core while integrating other evidence-based techniques to match individual needs. Conversations aim to uncover repeating patterns and the beliefs that drive them, so people can try different ways of responding to old problems.
Her private practice is based in Tingley in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the See online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used online and in practice
Paige uses person-centred work as a foundation, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change in their lives.She also uses integrative methods, bringing in techniques from other evidence-based approaches to tackle specific problems. That might include work to identify and challenge limiting beliefs, trauma-focused strategies for processing difficult events, or focused psychosexual techniques when sexual concerns are present.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what is more helpful at different stages and agree on practical steps based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins at busy times, or making it easier to schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these ways of working to keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
