About Jeanine
Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of practice. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression and other life changes common in early adulthood.
She has worked across many settings, including family support, court-related matters and recovery from trauma. Those experiences have shaped a practical style. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, noticing patterns, and building day-to-day coping skills.
Jeanine uses straightforward reflection and gentle challenge to help people consider their thoughts and beliefs. She aims to open options and strengthen confidence through new skills and perspectives. When past events cannot be changed, she supports people to find ways of managing reactions and responding more calmly.
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centred listening, emotionally focused work and mindfulness practices. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and practical steps. These methods are offered alongside attention to areas such as attachment, abandonment, bereavement, addiction and body image concerns.
People who prefer a conversational counselling style and concrete tools tend to find her helpful. She invites honest reflection and steady practical progress rather than dramatic quick fixes. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jeanine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to express themselves fully, useful for building trust after trauma or within strained relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. This is a collaborative process that may blend approaches to suit practical needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work and other commitments. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often use a range of ways to meet clients; Jeanine will discuss what works best when arranging a first session.
