Jeanine Fox-Rioche

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on many years supporting people through relationship strain, trauma, addiction and grief. Her approach feels grounded and practical, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about painful experiences. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients notice thoughts and feelings without rush. Jeanine aims to help people build simple, useful skills to manage reactions and reduce distress.

Her background includes supporting people from difficult family situations and those recovering from abuse. She has worked with clients facing court proceedings and people coping with long-term health problems and caregiving stress. That breadth of experience informs a flexible way of responding to different life problems.

Jeanine blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred and emotionally-focused work with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. She uses these methods to help people clarify values, strengthen relationships and practise calmer responses when anger or anxiety arise.

In sessions she offers observations, practical skills and chance to reflect on patterns that keep people stuck. The aim is to widen options and rebuild confidence so daily life feels more manageable. If appointment times are tight she invites people to ask about alternatives and will try to accommodate preferences.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Jeanine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. ACT supports people who struggle with anxiety, anger and low mood by encouraging valued action rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

She also works from a client-centred stance, which means sessions begin with careful listening and responding to each person's priorities. This approach suits people who need time to feel heard and to make sense of their experience before trying new strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanine will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation helps shape a plan that fits daily life and what the person hopes to change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when people need a brief practical session rather than a longer in-person meeting. Registered professionals can adapt exercises such as mindfulness practice, emotional processing and values work to an online setting so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
