About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience working in the UK. She has worked in the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean focuses on trauma work and long-term health conditions alongside common concerns such as stress and anxiety.
She works with people dealing with loss, grief and relationship issues. She also supports those managing chronic illness, disability and body image concerns. Issues linked to neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism are part of her background work.
Her practice uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and to address the patterns that maintain distress. Jean favours clear, respectful conversation and steady pacing to allow people to set the pace.
People coming for help can expect discussion of thoughts, feelings and everyday habits that affect mood and coping. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to talk about painful events such as trauma, abuse or bereavement. The work often includes looking at relationship and intimacy concerns, career pressure and issues common in early adulthood.
Jean also has experience with LGBTQ+ concerns, domestic violence related distress, and specific medical issues such as amputation and multiple sclerosis. Her approach is direct and professional, aimed at helping people make the changes they want at a pace they can manage.
Therapeutic approaches you can expect online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and trust. In practice this can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues and patterns that repeat across partnerships.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of conversations. The counsellor listens with minimal direction, helping people clarify their own goals and decide what change they want to make.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress and can include small behavioural experiments and thought records.
Deciding on an approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and help find what fits the client's needs and goals. That choice is based on the person’s concerns, what has helped before and how they prefer to work.
