About Jessica
Jessica Rigby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained through a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and completed a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. She has five years of experience working with a wide range of concerns.
Her practice is open-minded and non-judgemental. She listens with curiosity and warmth and aims to create a space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and does not hand out ready-made solutions. In sessions she offers empathic listening and reflection to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She uses person-centred ideas to focus on the client's experience.
She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help identify practical steps and short-term goals. Jessica has worked with issues such as sexuality and consensual non-monogamy, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, body image, communication problems, and identity-related struggles.
Her style is friendly, curious and caring. She encourages clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. The aim is to help each person find ways forward that fit their life and values.

How Jessica works online
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions are task-oriented and often focus on what is already working and how to build on it. This can help with stress, anxiety, coping with life changes and setting concrete next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica will work collaboratively to identify which ideas and techniques fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She will adapt the focus as the work develops, combining listening and practical planning where needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments to be scheduled around work or caregiving. Some people prefer a shorter check-in or audio-only exchanges when video is difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and can choose what suits your routine.
