About Jessica
Jessica Rigby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She trained through a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education and completed a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. She works with adults on concerns such as relationships, LGBT issues, intimacy, self-esteem, anxiety and depression.
Clients also bring topics like parenting, grief, addictions, trauma, ADHD and coping with life changes. Jessica has worked with a wide range of experiences, including consensual non-monogamy, personality and attachment issues, and matters around kink and alternative sex culture. She describes herself as open-minded and non-judgemental about the issues people bring.
Her approach is rooted in Person-Centred principles and solution-focused ideas. Sessions focus on what the person says matters most. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people notice patterns and choices they can act on.
In practice she aims for a friendly, inquisitive style. She does not hand out ready-made answers but supports clients to clarify their own thinking. Expect direct conversation, careful listening and an emphasis on practical next steps when they are wanted.
Jessica works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She uses a subscription model for bookings that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online options.
Approaches used and how online work is organised
Person-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects back what matters most to the client, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. This approach can suit people who want a thoughtful listener while they work out their next steps.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical change. Sessions identify small, achievable goals and notice what already works. This method is useful for people wanting concrete steps to try between meetings and for addressing issues like stress, relationship patterns or feeling stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss which style or mix of approaches might fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to keep conversations focused on practical progress and clearer thinking.
