Paige WhiteleyBACP

Paige Whiteley is a counsellor with a focus on pregnancy and childbirth related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting and depression. She draws on 15 years of post-qualification experience to help people untangle worries and find ways forward. Paige works in a direct, down-to-earth way so conversations feel clear and practical for a worried parent reading on a phone.

Her practice uses an integrative approach built around person-centred therapy. That means she listens first to understand what matters to each person, then links together methods that fit those needs. She aims to help people notice and change limiting beliefs that get in the way of daily life.

Paige completed a Diploma in Counselling at Joseph Priestley College and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision from the University of Central Lancashire and is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member (BACP).

Her background includes school-based work with children aged 5 to 11 and more than a decade at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults with trauma and related difficulties. That range of settings has shaped a practical, supportive style that combines one-to-one therapy with occasional workshops or focused interventions.

In private practice she helps people work through fertility and pregnancy stress, loss and bereavement, trauma, family conflict and longer-term anxiety or depression. People who want a collaborative, steady approach to sorting out day-to-day pressures often find this way of working helpful.

How evidence-based methods can help online

Person-centred therapy places your experience at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, acceptance and helping you find your own solutions. It is useful for anxiety, stress around pregnancy and relationship concerns because sessions concentrate on what you want to change.

An integrative approach means the counsellor can bring in different evidence-based techniques as needed. That might include focused trauma work or practical coping strategies for worry and low mood, selected to match your situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. This makes sessions collaborative and tailored rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not specify online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or offering alternatives to being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to work well at a distance, helping with pregnancy-related stress, trauma, relationship issues and everyday anxiety without changing the therapeutic aims.
