Jeanine Fox-Rioche, BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP-registered person-centered counsellor with 25 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families across a wide range of life challenges. She has supported parents seeking guidance in family settings, people navigating court proceedings, and those recovering from trauma and abuse. Over the course of her career she has developed a straightforward, compassionate approach that encourages reflection, responsibility, and practical change.

Jeanine emphasizes a non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore their feelings, examine thoughts and beliefs, and speak about pain, fear, or addictive behaviours. She draws on insight, reflection, and different perspectives to help people identify strengths, build new skills, and expand choices that increase confidence and wellbeing. Her practice addresses relationship and family issues, parenting, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes, among other areas.

She also offers support for more specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and dissociation. Jeanine aims to help clients develop calm, considered responses when change is limited, focusing on coping strategies and skills to manage reactions. If standard appointment times do not fit, she will try to accommodate individual scheduling preferences to help clients begin or continue their therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward them while learning practical ways to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective, supporting self-discovery and personal growth; it is well suited to people working through relationship, self-esteem, or family concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and individuals identify and express core emotions that shape their interactions, guiding them toward stronger connection and improved emotional regulation in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jeanine will work collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her work over time, combining approaches when that best supports progress.

Online sessions make it easier to access therapy from home or elsewhere, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity of care across locations, and multiple ways for clients to engage with licensed professionals in a way that fits their life.
