About Jean

BACP. Four years' experience. Jean Fletcher works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and life changes. She also addresses issues such as self‑esteem, motivation, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, anger and career pressures, and long‑term conditions like bipolar and depression.

Jean practised full time in a charity setting before moving into private counselling. She says she is trauma informed and has experience supporting people through loss and recovery from abuse. Her background includes work with a wide range of relationship and attachment issues, and she lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, autism and attachment difficulties.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment‑Based Therapy and Client‑Centred Therapy. In sessions she works through thoughts and behaviours, looks at emotional patterns, and helps people notice what matters to them so they can take steps that match their goals.

Jean describes her practice as respectful and sensitive. She says she adapts conversation and the care plan to the person in front of her. She emphasises practical support for coping skills, communication problems and managing difficult feelings.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are provided by a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jean uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on actions that reflect a person’s values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with stress, sleep and low mood. Attachment‑Based Therapy pays attention to relational patterns from early life and how they affect current relationships and trust, which can be valuable for intimacy and attachment difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about what they want to change, try methods that fit those goals, and adapt the plan as they learn what helps. That process is collaborative and reviewed over time to find the best fit for the person’s needs and preferences.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online sessions to support ongoing treatment and practical skills work while working with each person’s schedule.
