Jean Fletcher

Jean Fletcher is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has four years of experience working in a charity setting and in private practice, helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and related challenges.

She takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals. Sessions are adapted to each person so therapy feels practical and relevant to everyday life.

Jean uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas for changing unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based strategies to work with strong emotions. She also draws on attachment-oriented thinking to help people understand patterns in close relationships.

People consult her about relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, work stress, mood difficulties and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. She also helps with coping after loss, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through, build new coping skills and try out different ways of moving forward. Practical steps and small experiments are often part of the work.

Taking the first step can feel difficult. Jean invites people to begin by using the platform’s starting process and then arranging sessions that match their needs and timing.

How Jean's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It can help when worry, low mood or avoidance get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and testing small changes to break those cycles. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss options with each person and help decide what fits best based on their goals, preferences and what they find most useful. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or choosing audio only if video is difficult. Many people find online sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside work, caring duties and other commitments.
