Paige Whiteley helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and depression. She is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience in personal and organisational settings. Paige works with a wide range of related concerns, including adoption and foster care, chronic illness, attachment issues and communication problems.

She trained first at Joseph Priestley College and completed a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Leeds Beckett University.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in schools offering one-to-one sessions and staff workshops, and long-term roles at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma. Her way of working is integrative with person-centred therapy at the core. That means sessions focus on the individual and their priorities, while drawing on different approaches as needed.

The aim is to uncover and change limiting beliefs that get in the way of daily life. Paige has also completed postgraduate study in supervision and holds additional qualifications in psychosexual therapy and coaching practice. Over the years she has developed experience helping people manage grief, fertility-related distress, abuse recovery and other life transitions.

In sessions she aims to build a trusting working relationship so people can talk through problems, learn coping strategies and make practical changes. Her independent practice operates in the United Kingdom and she offers a mix of face-to-face and remote session formats to suit different needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Paige draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. One common approach focuses on helping people notice and shift limiting beliefs and unhelpful thinking patterns; this is practical work to reduce anxiety or low mood and to improve day-to-day functioning. Another approach she uses targets trauma-related distress by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact so they can feel safer in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time so the work fits what the person needs and wants to achieve.

Online therapy with Paige is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be useful when a lower-data option or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work for short reflections, written check-ins and flexible contact between sessions. Together these formats offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments.
