Jeanine Fox-Rioche, BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She draws on long experience supporting people through relationship strain, trauma, parenting challenges and changes in life. Her style is open and down-to-earth and she aims to make each session straightforward and practical.

Jeanine works from a person-centred stance that puts the client's experience first. She offers a calm space to talk about difficult feelings, painful memories and day-to-day stresses. She listens for strengths and helps people notice what is already working for them.

Her work often focuses on relationships and intimacy-related issues, alongside anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image and attachment concerns. Those affected by abandonment, blended family tensions or serious life events may find her experience relevant.

Sessions include reflection, gentle challenges and practical strategies. Jeanine uses insights and new perspectives to help people build skills for calmer responses and clearer choices. She emphasises acceptance when change is limited, while finding actions that increase control where possible.

Clients who prefer a collaborative, respectful approach will recognise her straightforward manner. To begin, she invites people to choose a suitable appointment and notes she will try to accommodate scheduling preferences where possible.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction and can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the individual’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgement and supports people to find their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and processing relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. That collaborative approach helps tailor sessions to what the person needs most.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings from more convenient places. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is impractical and offer options for people who prefer to avoid being on camera. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available.
