Jessica RigbyBACP

Jessica Rigby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a Diploma of Higher Education and a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and has around five years' experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns.

Her approach is warm and open. Sessions are conversational and non-judgemental. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and listens to what matters most to them.

In practice she helps people talk through issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, stress, and challenges around parenting and pregnancy and childbirth. She also works with topics like sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, body image and ADHD. Sessions focus on understanding the person in front of her and finding practical ways forward.

Jessica uses person-centred methods alongside solution-focused techniques. That means she offers empathic listening and then looks together with the client for small, achievable changes. The pace is set by the client and the work is collaborative.

Her style is friendly, curious and caring. People can expect steady support, reflective questions and encouragement to make decisions that fit their life. To begin, prospective clients follow the service's sign-up steps and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and respect so the person can describe their experience and make sense of it in their own words. This approach helps with issues like stress, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and pregnancy related worries.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions look for what is already working and build on those strengths to set achievable goals, which can suit people wanting short-term, goal-oriented support.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the client's concerns, goals and preferences and then try a way of working that feels right. If needed, the approach can be adjusted as the relationship develops so the plan matches changing needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering sessions without being on camera when that helps. Many people find these arrangements make regular support easier to maintain while managing family and pregnancy commitments.
