Jeanine Fox-Rioche , BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a registered person-centered counsellor with BACP accreditation, bringing 25 years of therapeutic experience across a wide range of settings. She has supported families seeking parental guidance, individuals navigating court proceedings, and people recovering from trauma and abuse, drawing on long experience to tailor compassionate care for each situation.

She focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore feelings, thoughts, and beliefs at their own pace. Through attentive listening, reflective feedback, and gentle questioning she helps clients name pain, recognise patterns, and begin to rebuild strength and resilience.

Jeanine uses insights and alternative perspectives to help clients develop practical skills - from coping strategies for stress and anxiety to tools for managing addiction, anger, grief, or relationship challenges. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics.

Her approach values acceptance alongside realistic change - helping people learn calming responses, manage reactions, and identify the choices that support greater wellbeing. Jeanine aims to support clients in discovering motivation, enhancing confidence, and moving toward a more fulfilled life.

How Jeanine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jeanine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build actions that align with those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and adjustment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported as they explore personal issues and develop self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which can be especially helpful for couples and for attachment-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jeanine works collaboratively with clients to find the best fit based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and practical for each person.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, while allowing clients to work in the format that suits them best.
