Jessica Rigby, BACP

Jessica Rigby is a qualified therapist registered with the BACP, having completed a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. With five years of practice, she brings both professional training and a breadth of life experience to her work, supporting people from many different backgrounds and life stages.

Her approach is open-minded and nonjudgmental, and she has experience addressing a wide range of issues including sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, personality disorders, anxiety and depression. She describes her style as friendly, inquisitive and caring, and she aims to create a space where people can explore what matters to them without pressure.

Jessica follows a person-centred ethos, which means she treats each person as the expert on their own experience and concentrates on listening, empathy and affirmation rather than offering ready-made solutions. She accompanies clients as they explore their difficulties and supports them in finding practical ways forward that fit their values and circumstances.

Located in the United Kingdom, Jessica welcomes enquiries from people seeking empathetic, respectful counselling and looks forward to supporting individuals as they work through challenges and changes in their lives.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Support Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client is treated as the expert on their own life. This approach prioritises listening, understanding and helping people to clarify their feelings and values, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship or identity questions, grief and coping with life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. It is future-oriented and often useful for tackling specific problems such as communication difficulties, stress management, and building coping strategies for anxiety or parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work over time so it remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to access support from different locations within the United Kingdom. Registered professionals can provide the same thoughtful, structured care remotely, allowing clients to focus on progress in a format that suits their routine and comfort.
