Jeanine Fox-Rioche , BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who works from a person-centred base. She is a BACP counsellor and offers support to people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety and a wide range of life changes. Jeanine speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel accessible and manageable for anyone nervous about starting work with a therapist.

Her background includes working in family settings and supporting people through court-related processes and recovery after traumatic events. She has learned from many clients and draws on that experience to help others find a clearer sense of themselves. Jeanine places emphasis on listening and on helping people to feel heard.

In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through painful memories, addictive behaviours, grief, or problems with intimacy and self-esteem. She helps clients consider their thoughts and beliefs, and looks at practical ways to build coping skills. The aim is to help people manage reactions and develop steadier responses to difficult situations.

Jeanine uses insights and reflections to open up options and build confidence. She supports people through issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and attachment concerns. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Jeanine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom and international clients.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small steps towards them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship where the person can speak openly. The counsellor offers active listening and reflection to help people make sense of their experience and find their own solutions, which can suit issues like self-esteem and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanine will discuss options and together they will choose techniques that match the person’s goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and messaging or chat gives the option of shorter check-ins or more flexible timing. These formats make it possible to work around caring duties, work hours or travel, while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
