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 further year to gain a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling. Jessica brings five years of practice experience and a calm, non-judgemental style to sessions.
She meets people where they are and listens first. Jessica does not give quick fixes or prescriptive answers. Instead she offers empathy and helps clients make sense of their own experience so they can find practical ways forward.
Her work covers many common and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions and self-esteem challenges. She also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting worries, and the emotional strain of long-term illness or caring responsibilities. ADHD, body image issues and compassion fatigue are also within her practice focus.
Jessica uses client-centred ways of working and draws on solution-focused methods to support change. Sessions aim to be warm and curious, creating space to talk honestly about difficult topics like sexuality, consensual non-monogamy, attachment and personality-related struggles.
She presents as open-minded and liberal about the human experience, and she encourages clients to bring whatever is most important to them. Prospective clients are invited to use the site process to start therapy and arrange a time to talk.
How Jessica's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so you can better understand your feelings and choices; this helps with low mood, grief, identity and relationship worries. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps and on what you want to be different. It helps when you want to make clear changes, manage stress, or try out new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a shared decision. Jessica will work with you to identify goals and prefered ways of working, adapting the balance between listening and practical problem-solving as needs change. The emphasis is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means therapy can be continued during life changes without needing to pause face-to-face arrangements, helping maintain momentum on goals and coping plans.
