Janet Rigby

I currently have availability

I offer a warm, confidential space where your unique story is heard with compassion.

With experience supporting clients of childhood sexual abuse, domestic abuse, FGM, grief,  anxiety, stress, shame, and confidence issues.  Having lived in India for over 8 years, Cyprus for 4 years, and worked in Egypt has given me a deep respect for diverse cultures and different religions.  

I am flexible and sensitive to individual needs.  Being disabled myself gives me valuable insight into life's daily struggles and challenges faced by other individuals facing these hurdles.  

I have completed extensive training on child sexual abuse, domestic abuse, infant loss, infertility, and FGM.  I have also completed serious sexual crimes training with Victim Support Lancashire.  

I am also part of the counselling team at York Women's Counselling Services, where I volunteer as a qualified counsellor.  

My practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means your needs are always my focus.  I am skilled in therapy, but you are the expert on yourself.

The most important factor in counselling is trust.  Trust is fundamental to the therapeutic relationship, and a good therapeutic relationship leads to the best results.

Talking with me is a great way to determine if you would like to work with me.  I offer a free 20-minute discovery call, where you can speak with me in confidence.  During this call, I will explain what I can offer you, answer any questions you may have, and help you decide if you feel comfortable working with me.  there is no commitment at this stage.  If you decide to proceed, you can then book a counselling session with me.
