Paige Whiteley, BACP

Paige Whiteley brings over 15 years of post-qualifying experience in both private practice and organisational settings, offering an integrative counselling style with person-centred therapy at its heart. She is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is a member of COSRT - the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists - which reflects her additional training in psychosexual work. Her approach focuses on connecting with each person’s specific needs to identify and shift limiting beliefs that may be holding them back.

Paige completed a Diploma in Counselling at Joseph Priestley College in 2011 and went on to gain a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy from Leeds Beckett University in 2014. She holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Supervision from UCLan and has qualified as an EMDR practitioner and as a coaching practitioner. She also holds a postgraduate certificate in psychosexual therapy, supporting work around sexual and relationship concerns.

Early in her career she trained and worked with children aged 5-11, providing one-to-one therapeutic support and delivering workshops to school staff to strengthen relational skills. She has three years’ experience working with adults in organisational mental health roles and spent 12 years at a South Yorkshire mental health charity supporting adults affected by trauma, during which she completed further trauma-focused training. Paige now runs a private practice based in Tingley and works with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression.
