About Paige Whiteley

Paige Whiteley is an experienced integrative counsellor with over 15 years post-qualification practice, combining person centred work with additional evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s needs. She places person centred therapy at the core of her practice, building a collaborative relationship that helps clients explore and change limiting beliefs that affect their wellbeing and relationships.

Paige trained at Joseph Priestley College, completing a Diploma in Counselling in 2011, and went on to earn a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University in 2014. She later completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision at UCLAN and has further qualifications as an EMDR practitioner, a coaching practitioner, and a post-graduate certificate in psychosexual therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Paige uses person centred therapy as a foundation, offering a warm, client-led approach that encourages people to explore their feelings and identify what they want to change. This method supports issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns by focusing on the person’s own strengths and goals. EMDR is another approach she is trained in - it is a targeted, structured method often used to address the lingering impact of trauma and distressing memories, helping people process past events in a paced way. She also integrates psychosexual therapy and coaching techniques when relevant to address relationship, intimacy, and life-direction concerns in a practical, skills-based manner.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paige works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, reviewing progress and adapting the plan as therapy evolves. This means the choice of techniques is guided by the client’s experience and what works best for them.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide greater flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into busy lives. These formats make it easier for people to access registered professionals from different locations, continue work between sessions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for them.
