About Jessica

Jessica Rigby works with people on relationship and personal issues using a person-centred way of working and solution-focused techniques. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience with clients.

Jessica trained as a mature student and completed a BACP-accredited Diploma of Higher Education, followed by a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. She draws on both professional training and life experience when meeting people for the first time.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy matters, LGBT issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief. Jessica also works with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and body-image concerns.

Her practice includes work with attachment and abandonment issues, avoidant and dependent personality features, dissociation and communication or commitment problems. She is also experienced in topics around consensual non-monogamy, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and in blended family dynamics.

Jessica uses person-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters to the individual. She complements this with solution-focused tools to help set practical short-term goals. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people identify steps they can try between meetings.

She offers counselling in English from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jessica uses person-centred and solution-focused work online

Person-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The counsellor listens, reflects and encourages the client to find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a talking space to clarify feelings and values.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps. It helps clients identify concrete goals and notice what changes make a difference. This style is useful for managing stress, short-term goals and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences with the client and agree on the methods to try together. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Confirm the session delivery options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for different types of contact that may suit quieter or shorter check-ins, or for people who prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work practical for maintaining continuity between sessions.
