Paige Whiteley, BACP

Paige Whiteley is a counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and depression. She works from an integrative, person-centred stance to help people identify and shift the beliefs that limit them.

Paige trained at Joseph Priestley College, gaining a counselling diploma in 2011, and later completed a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Leeds Beckett University in 2014. She holds a postgraduate certificate in supervision from the University of Central Lancashire and a BACP accreditation. She also has a postgraduate certificate in psychosexual therapy.

Her practice blends person-centred work with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person’s needs. She describes the work as collaborative, focusing on clear goals, practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems in place. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded rather than full of jargon.

Paige has worked across charity and organisational settings supporting adults with trauma, loss, fertility issues, relationship problems and mental health concerns. Early in her career she provided one-to-one therapeutic support to children aged 5–11 and ran staff workshops to strengthen relationships in a school setting.

She currently runs a private practice in the United Kingdom. Sessions and practical arrangements are agreed with each person at the start of working together. If you are considering therapy, you can begin by using the Start Therapy process on the site to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy choices

Paige uses an integrative approach built around person-centred work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own solutions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and relationship issues.

She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and difficult life events. Those techniques aim to help people understand patterns, reduce distressing symptoms and develop more effective coping strategies for problems such as trauma, loss and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods when needed, and adapt based on how the work is progressing. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best with personal needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also mean quieter surroundings or lower-tech options when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help plan sessions that work around everyday commitments.
