About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience in the UK. She has worked full time in a charity setting and now sees clients in independent practice. Jean focuses on practical help for everyday problems and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

Jean works with people dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes. Other areas she supports include self-esteem, motivation, sleep and eating problems, parenting strains and work-related stress.

Her approach is adaptable. Jean uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to shape sessions around each person. She keeps conversations straightforward and focuses on what clients want to change.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. She aims to listen without judgement and to build practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Jean can help people explore difficult feelings and find ways to manage them between sessions.

People looking for support can expect a calm, respectful setting and a counsellor who will tailor the work to their needs. Jean also works with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, codependency and intimacy-related worries. Her background includes supporting people affected by adoption, attachment challenges and chronic health conditions.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems by focusing on small, meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with stress, sleep and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can support people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will talk through options and decide together with the client which methods might fit best. This lets the plan adapt as needs and goals become clearer, and keeps the work collaborative throughout.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need a quieter session with less visual bandwidth. Speak with Jean during the matching process to agree the format and scheduling that work best for you.
