About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She began in a charity setting and now works in private practice. Jean focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes, and she regularly supports people with self-esteem, motivation and relationship concerns.

Jean describes herself as trauma informed and draws on a range of approaches when talking with clients. She uses plain language and practical ideas in sessions. Conversations tend to centre on what feels most urgent to the client and on small steps that can be tried between meetings.

Her background includes time working full time in a charitable service and then moving into private work. That combination gives experience with shorter-term and longer-term concerns. Jean will discuss what style of support makes sense, from focused problem-solving to more open-ended reflection.

In session she listens for attachment patterns and ways thinking and behaviour keep problems going. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people try different responses. Dialectical behaviour strategies and client-centred listening are also part of her approach.

Jean works with a wide range of life issues, including relationship and intimacy difficulties, career pressures, parenting strains, ADHD and mood concerns. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Jean uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in session, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and making space for actions that match personal values. ACT can help when people feel stuck by worry or self-criticism. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and intimacy. This approach can help with relationship difficulties and commitment worries.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a shared task. Jean works with clients to test what fits best, adapting methods as goals and preferences become clearer. The therapist explains techniques and asks for feedback so people can see what helps in practice.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts at work or relocation, and it can reduce travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange timings that suit daily life without requiring long journeys.
