Jeanine Fox-Rioche

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP registered counsellor with 25 years' experience. She draws on a long career supporting people through relationship strain, trauma, addiction recovery and major life changes. Jeanine aims to offer a calm, straightforward space where someone can talk about what hurts and what needs to change.

Her approach is person-centred and practical. She listens first, then offers reflections and gentle challenges to widen perspective. Sessions focus on building skills to manage strong feelings, interrupt unhelpful patterns and regain a sense of control over day-to-day life.

Jeanine often works with clients coping with grief, anxiety, depression and self-esteem problems. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, intimacy-related issues, anger and addiction. Additional areas she sees include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and challenges linked to autism and blended family situations.

Practically, Jeanine uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work. That mix helps people notice what matters, practise new ways of relating, and take small steps towards change. She speaks plainly, encourages realistic goals and helps clients develop coping tools.

She works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling are used so sessions can be arranged around the client’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values and can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person feels heard and can explore what matters most to them.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to patterns in close relationships and to the emotions that drive those patterns. It can help people understand attachment issues and improve how they respond to intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Jeanine will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a client’s goals and situation. She tailors practical exercises and reflections to each person and reviews progress as work continues.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to connect with a counsellor in the UK even if you are abroad. Ask about practical details when you arrange your first session.
