About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with over 20 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and has worked in the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance settings. Jean focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, long-term health conditions and relationship or identity concerns.
Her background includes work with limb amputation and people living with multiple sclerosis. She also has experience assessing neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism, and supporting issues around body image, disability and chronic illness. Jean uses straightforward language and practical steps when talking with people.
Jean draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods. Sessions tend to explore the problems a person brings, look at patterns that keep those problems going, and then practise small changes that can make daily life easier. She keeps a non-judgemental, respectful tone and adapts to each person's pace and preferences.
People contact Jean for help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anger. She also supports concerns linked to relationships, intimacy, parenting, eating and career pressures. Codependency and attachment-related worries are included among her areas of focus.
Her aim is to help people identify manageable steps towards change. Jean encourages practical tools alongside time to reflect, so people can feel more able to cope and make choices that suit their lives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears or repeating relationship patterns by exploring those dynamics and building new ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It aims to create a supportive conversation where the client leads the pace and direction, which suits people needing time to make sense of difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit the individual. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and offer steady continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide people to the approach that best meets their needs.
