About Jeanine

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years' experience. She has worked across a range of settings and helps people who are facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, grief and stress. Her manner is straightforward and calm, aimed at making conversations feel manageable for worried parents seeking support.

Over a long career she has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions and life changes. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns and caregiving stress.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses practical day-to-day problems as well as deeper patterns that keep causing pain. Jeanine offers a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience first. She listens, reflects and helps people name difficult feelings.

From there she discusses realistic steps and coping strategies that can be used between sessions. She uses straightforward tools from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness, alongside emotionally-focused work and solution-focused planning. These methods are used simply to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Sessions tend to focus on building practical skills, calming responses to stress, and increasing confidence in everyday parenting and relationship choices. Jeanine encourages gradual change and supports people as they try out new strategies in their lives. If someone needs to get started they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them.

Jeanine accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally and offers several online session formats.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jeanine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-based actions. ACT helps when worry or avoidance stops someone doing what matters to them. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which gives priority to understanding the person’s experience by listening without judgment and reflecting back what is heard. This approach can help people feel clearer about their needs and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanine discusses different ways of working with each person and decides together which methods make the most sense for their goals and situation. That collaborative planning means the work can shift if something is not helping.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options give practical flexibility while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with a registered professional.
