About Paige
Paige Whiteley works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and depression. She is named as a BACP practitioner and brings 15 years of post-qualifying experience in counselling settings and independent practice. She trained initially at Joseph Priestley College, completing a Diploma in Counselling in 2011.
She then earned a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University in 2014. Her background also includes postgraduate study in supervision and additional professional certificates in related fields.
Background and approach
Paige practises with an integrative, person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She aims to connect with each person's needs and to identify beliefs that may be holding them back. Sessions focus on simple, practical conversation and small step changes rather than jargon or complex theory.
Her early work included one-to-one therapeutic support for primary school children and delivering staff workshops to help strengthen relationships in education settings. She also spent many years working in a South Yorkshire mental health charity with adults affected by trauma and related difficulties.
Paige now runs a independent practice based in Tingley and continues to support people with trauma, loss, fertility and family-related concerns. People can expect a calm, relational style that focuses on listening, making sense of difficult experiences and planning realistic next steps.

How Paige works online
The right approach is usually discovered together. The therapist and client discuss needs, aims and preferences and then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as therapy progresses to keep work relevant and manageable.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to make appointments easier to fit into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Online work can also make brief check-ins simpler, or let someone use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Confirm current session options with the therapist when you arrange your first meeting to ensure they match your practical needs.
