About Jean
Jean Fletcher is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She worked full time in a charity before moving into independent practice. Jean focuses on helping people who are under stress or feeling anxious and wants to make the first steps into therapy easier to take.
Jean describes herself as trauma informed and offers support for people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and motivation issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses a wide range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, work-related challenges, and long-term health or caregiving strain. Her style is respectful and compassionate. Jean adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs.
Sessions aim to be practical and down to earth, concentrating on small changes that make life feel more manageable. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Client-centred counselling. These methods guide sessions rather than dictating them, and Jean chooses tools that suit what someone wants to work on.
Jean offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She works with English-speaking clients in the UK and also accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Jean’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, sleeping problems, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tools from different therapies to suit the issue being worked on rather than sticking to one fixed model.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep support going across locations.
