About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She began working full time in a charity setting and more recently moved into private practice. Jean focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Her approach is trauma-informed and she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, so conversations and plans are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Jean works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, eating and sleeping difficulties, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and work-related strain.

Jean also offers support for people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, adoption and foster care topics, and issues linked to attachment and autism. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to help clients build practical skills and new ways of coping. Over time she helps people notice small changes and put them into practice in daily life.

She describes the first step as often the hardest and aims to make the process straightforward. Conversations are non-judgemental and directed by what the person wants to focus on. Jean tailors goals and tools to each person, and she encourages realistic steps that fit around everyday demands.

If you are thinking about starting, the typical route is to use the service Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

The therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress and making changes that matter in daily life. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and to help clients understand how early bonds affect current reactions. This work can suit concerns about intimacy, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That lets you try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan if something feels unhelpful. The process is collaborative and paced to what you can manage.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work hours and travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and sessions can be organised to suit quieter times, shorter check-ins or longer therapy conversations depending on what you need.
