Jeanine Fox-Rioche, BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression and other difficult life changes. Jeanine draws on a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience first. Sessions are calm and straightforward, with room to talk things through at a pace that feels right.

Her background includes supporting people in family settings, people affected by trauma and abuse, and those navigating recovery and court-related stress. She has also worked with concerns such as addiction, caregiving strain, chronic illness and ageing and geriatric issues. That experience shapes a practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions Jeanine listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. She offers ideas and different perspectives to build coping skills and restore confidence. The aim is to expand choices and strengthen the ability to respond to difficult situations.

Jeanine encourages acceptance where change is limited and active skill-building where change is possible. Her work includes helping people manage reactivity, reduce stress and develop steadier relationships. People meet a supportive, non-judgemental presence who focuses on realistic steps forward.

If a particular appointment time does not fit, she will try to accommodate preferences. The first step is a short matching process to arrange a session that suits each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely and find their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and changing patterns in close relationships by identifying emotions and reshaping interactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they will decide which ideas to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel time and help people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. If you are unsure which session formats are available, please confirm current options before booking. The emphasis is on finding ways to make therapy practical and sustainable alongside everyday responsibilities.
