About Jeanine

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, accepting presence for people dealing with relationship strain, trauma, anxiety and life changes. Her work starts with listening and creating space for honest conversation.

Jeanine has worked across a wide range of settings, from supporting parents to helping people who have experienced abuse or court-related stress. She draws on what clients bring and encourages practical steps that build confidence and choice. Her approach is grounded and down-to-earth rather than technical jargon.

In sessions she focuses on helping people name feelings, reflect on thoughts and try out different ways of responding. That can include building skills to manage anger or anxiety, tackling addictive behaviour, or making sense of grief and loss. She aims to help clients find calmer, more considered reactions in everyday life.

Jeanine uses reflections and practical suggestions to open new options for clients. She emphasises resilience and personal responsibility while recognising the limits of what can be changed. The goal is clearer understanding, steadier coping, and small, achievable steps toward feeling better.

Her work also covers attachment and abandonment issues, body image and caregiving stress, chronic illness and disability, and other complex concerns. People interested in starting work with her are asked to use the site process to make initial contact and arrange a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and focus on values-based action; it is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, offering empathic listening and reflection to help clients make their own choices and build self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional patterns that affect close relationships and intimacy, aiming to create new ways of responding.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will help identify your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and may change as you make progress.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when circumstances change, while still allowing the therapist to use reflective conversation, mindfulness exercises and practical skills work adapted for remote sessions.
