About Jean
Counsellor Jean Fletcher is a member of BACP with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She has worked full time in a charity setting and more recently in private practice. Jean focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation among other concerns.
Jean describes a trauma-informed approach and bases sessions on listening and practical work. She uses several common methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These are used to address thoughts, emotions and behaviour in ways that fit the person.
Sessions aim to look at what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Jean talks with people about coping strategies for daily stress, managing anxiety, and ways to rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. She also works with issues linked to relationships, parenting strains and identity questions.
Jean is experienced with a wide range of concerns beyond the main areas, including neurodiversity, body image, chronic health issues and caring roles. She also lists work around abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties as focus areas. Her scope includes both emotional effects of physical illness and the stress carers can face.
People who want straightforward conversation and practical tools may find this approach useful. To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps towards those values. It is often used for persistent anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when relationship difficulties or attachment worries are present.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Jean will discuss options with each person and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a workday, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, or choosing shorter check-ins by phone when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical options depending on the service setup, and Jean will review what works best when you arrange the first meeting.
