Jessica Rigby , BACP

Jessica Rigby is a qualified therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She completed a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and then undertook an additional year of study to achieve a BA (Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling.

With five years of clinical experience, Jessica has supported people from a wide range of backgrounds and life situations. She came to the profession as a mature student and draws on substantial life experience alongside her formal training. Her work has included issues such as sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, personality disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Jessica practises with an open-minded and nonjudgmental stance, welcoming the full diversity of human experience. Her counselling style is friendly, inquisitive, and caring, and she focuses on creating an environment where clients feel able to share what has brought them to therapy. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, she treats clients as the experts on their own lives and accompanies them as they explore their experience.

Throughout the therapeutic process Jessica aims to offer empathy and affirmation so that clients can identify and develop ways forward that suit them. She welcomes contact from prospective clients who are seeking supportive, person-centred therapy.

Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Support Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s experience. It supports exploration of identity, relationships, self-esteem, grief, and emotional distress by helping clients feel heard and valued as they make their own sense of change.

Solution-Focused Therapy is a practical, goal-oriented approach that looks for strengths and small, achievable steps toward change. It is often helpful for people who want to address specific problems, reduce stress, improve communication, or build coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica Rigby works collaboratively with clients to determine what will suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will help identify which methods to prioritise and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs and allow clients to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from locations across the United Kingdom.
