About Paige

Paige Whiteley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and depression. She combines practical listening with action-focused work to help clients identify and shift beliefs that hold them back. Paige uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel calm and purposeful.

Paige has worked in counselling for over 15 years across personal and organisational settings. She trained at Joseph Priestley College and later gained a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University.

Background and approach

She also completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision at the University of Central Lancashire and holds further qualifications in psychosexual therapy and coaching. Her background includes long-term charity work supporting adults experiencing trauma and three years providing mental health support within an organisational setting.

Early in her career she spent a year delivering one-to-one therapeutic sessions in a school and ran workshops for staff on building supportive relationships with pupils. In practice Paige takes an integrative approach with a person-centred core. That means conversations begin with understanding the person first, then drawing on methods that fit their needs.

She pays attention to practical steps and coping strategies as well as exploring origins of distress. Sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Paige is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work

Paige draws on person-centred work alongside integrative, evidence-based techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping you make sense of your experience; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Integrative approaches combine different evidence-based methods to match what a person needs, so sessions might shift between reflective conversation and practical skills for coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and changing course when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for quick updates or when you prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities or mobility limits while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
