About Jeanine
Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strains, trauma, grief, stress and changes in life. Jeanine aims to give a calm, approachable space where clients can start to make sense of their thoughts and everyday habits.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client and their experience at the centre of the sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting back what emerges, and helping people notice patterns in how they think and act. She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emotionally-focused work and mindfulness to support this process.
Jeanine has worked in a wide range of settings, including supporting people through parental and family issues, court processes and recovery from abuse. That experience has shaped a practical style that focuses on small, steady changes and building skills to cope with difficult emotions and situations.
In sessions she helps clients explore beliefs, manage strong feelings and reduce unhelpful habits. The work often includes developing calmer responses, practical ways to deal with stress, and steps to rebuild confidence and self-esteem. Jeanine emphasises collaboration - the client sets the goals and she helps map the way forward.
She encourages honest conversation about what’s difficult and what people want to change. If appointment times don’t fit, Jeanine asks clients to mention their preferred times and she will try to accommodate them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being ruled by them, and then take small steps toward a values-driven life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions in close relationships and building more secure emotional responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has helped before, and which methods feel comfortable. Together they can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will help choose a session rhythm and format that best matches the client’s needs and daily routine.
