About Jean

Jean Fletcher trained and practised in the UK and brings four years of counselling experience. She has worked full time in a charity and in private practice. Jean focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

Jean uses a calm, person-centred way of working. She adapts conversations and plans to suit each person's needs. Sessions are straightforward and practical, often focusing on ways to cope with day-to-day pressures and build small, steady changes.

Her background includes supporting people with relationships, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and codependency. She also offers help with career worries, anger, ADHD and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar when these come up in therapy.

Jean draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She combines these with a client-centred stance and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy when helpful. This gives space for practical skills and for looking at underlying patterns in relationships and behaviour.

People who prefer a non-judgemental, steady style often find her approach useful. Jean aims to listen carefully, set clear goals together and help people practise new ways of coping between sessions. She encourages small steps and realistic goals as part of lasting change.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by focusing on what someone wants their life to stand for. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current trust and closeness. It can be useful for intimacy issues, codependency and long-standing relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative and to try manageable steps that fit into everyday life.

Please check which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks or travel and can allow shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when that suits a person better. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in day-to-day routines, while working together on skills and relationship patterns.
