About Jessica

Jessica Rigby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained via a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and completed an extra year of study to gain a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Person-Centred Counselling. With five years of practice, she has worked with a wide range of concerns and life situations.

She draws on personal life experience as well as clinical work to meet people where they are.

Background and approach

She is open-minded about sexuality and relationship styles, and she names trauma and abuse among the issues she addresses. Her approach is non-judgemental and welcoming, so clients can bring difficult topics without fear of being dismissed. Jessica’s counselling style feels friendly and curious.

She listens closely and asks questions to help clarify what matters to each person. Rather than handing out quick fixes, she treats clients as the experts on their own lives and supports them to find their own solutions. She uses client-centred techniques that focus on empathy and understanding.

She also draws on solution-focused methods to help people spot practical steps forward and build on what already works. These approaches suit concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with change. Sessions can address a broad list of topics including intimacy, addictions, grief, ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.

People seeking help for complex emotional problems such as dissociation, attachment difficulties, or personality-related challenges may also find a steady listening ear and collaborative support. Jessica offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom and uses a calm, affirming way of working intended to help clients explore their experience and move towards clearer choices.

How Jessica’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person is seen as the expert on their own life. In practice this means the counsellor reflects feelings, listens without judgement, and helps people make sense of their experience. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what already works and builds on it. Sessions tend to spot small, practical steps and set clear, short-term goals. This can be useful for managing anxiety, coping with change, and making steady progress when life feels overwhelming.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the approach together. That collaborative decision helps make sessions feel relevant and practical for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family life and busy days while keeping focus on clear, practical steps.
