Jeanine Fox-Rioche , BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a registered person-centered counsellor with membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over a long career spanning multiple settings she has supported families, parents, individuals involved in court proceedings and people recovering from trauma and abuse. Her practice emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration as clients explore their feelings, thoughts and beliefs.

Working in a calm, non-judgmental manner, she helps people articulate pain, fears and patterns such as addiction or codependency, and supports them to develop new skills and perspectives. Jeanine draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, emotional insight and practical change so that clients can build resilience, increase confidence and widen their options for living more in line with their values.

Her areas of focus include relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger and depression, and coping with life changes. She also brings experience with abandonment and attachment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, dissociation and blended family dynamics.

Jeanine values the strength and determination clients bring to therapy and aims to create a space where reflection, learning and realistic planning can lead to greater understanding and a renewed sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and connection

Jeanine integrates client-centered practice with other evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients feel understood and are able to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach suits people seeking a compassionate, exploratory space to process personal challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and situations where practical coping strategies are needed alongside emotional work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, making it helpful for couples and individuals dealing with attachment or intimacy-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jeanine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain continuity of care for people living in different locations. These options allow therapists to provide consistent support while adapting to each client’s practical circumstances.
