About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience in the UK. She has worked full time in a charity and in private practice. Jean focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and motivation.

She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to tailor conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Jean describes herself as trauma informed and listens for the effects of past harm on present life.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods to suit the problem at hand. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural work for thought patterns and habits. She also brings in attachment-based ideas when relationships or past bonds affect current feelings.

Jean supports people through big life changes, bereavement, and issues tied to identity, such as LGBT concerns. She also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and common mood concerns including depression and bipolar challenges.

In sessions she aims to be non-judgemental and sensitive. Conversations are shaped around the client’s goals, whether that is symptom relief, clearer decision making, or building steady everyday routines.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Jean focuses on making that first step easier. She adapts plans as people progress and pays attention to what works in everyday life.

How Jean’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by shaping small daily habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and everyday routines and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful habits. It is often used for stress, sleep problems and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationships and how they affect current connection and trust, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jean will work with the client to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing one model on every issue.

The practical side of online work depends on the session options available from the therapist. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm current session choices before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a work break or a shorter appointment when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets to an online setting so progress is tracked between meetings.
