About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with 20 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds a BACP credential, and has a background in NHS services, independent practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean focuses on practical, steady support for people facing anxiety, stress and the aftermath of trauma.
Her work often addresses health-related trauma such as amputation and chronic conditions including multiple sclerosis. She also supports people dealing with neurodivergence assessments for ADHD and autism, body image and long-term illness.
Background and approach
Jean pays close attention to difficulties that affect daily life, such as grief, anger and mood challenges. Jean uses person-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems active and to try small changes that can ease day-to-day coping.
She encourages people to work at their own pace and sets practical steps when they are ready. Jean says she brings honesty, respect and a non-judgemental stance to the therapeutic relationship. She aims to help clients feel heard and to build strengths they can use outside sessions.
Her approach is flexible so therapy can be adapted to individual needs. People often come for support with relationship concerns, parenting strain, career stress, self-esteem and identity issues including LGBT matters. Jean also works with complex presentations such as co-morbidity, chronic pain and challenges linked to ageing or caregiving.
She focuses on helping people make manageable, positive change.
How Jean’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react emotionally in certain ways and supports building more supported ways of relating to others.Client-centred therapy centres on empathic listening and helping people lead the pace of change. This approach is useful for people who need space to be heard and to explore values, identity and self-esteem without pressure.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jean will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits best for a person's goals and circumstances. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for brief reflections, journalling between sessions or fitting therapy around work and family commitments. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and at different times.
