About Paige
Paige Whiteley is a counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and parenting strains. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, bringing a steady, practical approach to conversations.
Paige uses an integrative style that starts with listening. She draws on person-centred ways of working to build trust and then introduces other methods that fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
The focus is on identifying beliefs and patterns that get in the way and finding straightforward steps to change them. Her training includes a Diploma in Counselling, a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision. She also completed further postgraduate study in psychosexual therapy and has practiced in both personal and organisational settings.
Much of Paige’s background is in trauma work. She spent many years at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma, grief and related difficulties. Earlier in her career she provided one-to-one therapeutic support in a school for children aged 5 to 11 and ran staff workshops to help build positive relationships.
In sessions she aims for clear, manageable goals and practical tools. People can expect thoughtful listening, gentle challenge, and co-created plans for coping with anxiety, managing mood, improving relationships and navigating major life changes.
Approaches that help online and in sessions
Paige draws on person-centred work and other evidence-based techniques to support people online. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and helping someone feel understood so they can find their own solutions; it suits people who need space to make sense of feelings. Integrative techniques bring in practical tools from different therapeutic traditions to tackle specific problems like anxiety, low mood or relationship patterns; these tools might include paced breathing, behavioural experiments or communication skill practice.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that seem suitable, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps. That collaborative stance means sessions can change as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions are useful when seeing facial cues helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need a quick way to reflect between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling daily commitments.
