Jessica Rigby

Jessica Rigby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of experience working with adults. She uses a person-centred outlook and welcomes conversations about life direction, relationships and sexual identity. Jessica lists life purpose among her areas of focus and works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and coping with change.

She trained through a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and completed an extra year to gain a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. That background underpins a practical, conversational style in sessions. Jessica treats the client as the expert on their own life and helps them talk through what matters to them now.

Sessions are described by her as friendly and inquisitive. She does not hand out quick fixes. Instead she listens, reflects and helps people test what might move them forward. People bring topics like self-esteem, intimacy, parenting strain, addiction or compassion fatigue and work through these in focused dialogue.

Jessica is open-minded about different lifestyles and sexual expression, and notes experience with BDSM, consensual non-monogamy and related topics. She also lists experience supporting people with attachment concerns, personality-related difficulties, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

The overall aim is to explore options and make practical steps that fit a person's life. If someone is unsure what comes next, she offers steady, conversational sessions to notice choices and try small changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can access their own thoughts and feelings. It suits people wanting space to talk about identity, relationships or life purpose without being told what to do.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small changes that can be tried between sessions. It is useful when someone needs concrete ways to move past feeling stuck, manage stress or work on communication problems.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences with each person and combine person-centred listening with solution-focused planning as needed. That collaborative selection helps make sessions feel useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time so sessions sit alongside daily routines. It also lets people take part from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them focus.
