Jeanine Fox-Rioche

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years' experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strains, grief and end-of-life concerns, trauma, addiction and major life changes. Her approach is direct and warm, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood from the first session.

Jeanine creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful feelings and difficult events. She pays attention to what matters to each person and uses reflection and feedback to help them see new options. The work often focuses on building everyday skills to manage strong emotions and reduce stress.

Her practice blends client-centred listening with practical tools. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness may help people accept difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match their values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used to open conversations about connection and closeness when relationships are strained.

Jeanine has supported people through court-related stress, parental and caregiving pressures, long-term health challenges, and recovery after abuse. She notes the resilience clients bring and helps turn that into steady steps forward. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding, confidence and coping ability.

People who want conversational, down-to-earth counselling often find her style helpful. She invites prospective clients to explain their needs and will try to accommodate scheduling preferences when possible.

Approach-focused online counselling and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then make choices that match their values. It can help when grief, anxiety or long-term stress make it hard to move forward. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work; sessions are built around listening, empathy and the client’s pace, which can be helpful for people recovering from trauma or facing big life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The counsellor will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also lets people join from different locations, which can be useful for those managing caregiving duties or chronic illness. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on real-life improvements.
