About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has worked full time in a charity setting and in private practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation.

In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based work to address worries about relationships, confidence and coping with change. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than big leaps.

Jean pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships and emotions. That can include issues tied to abandonment, adoption and attachment. She also supports people with neurodiversity, long-term health concerns, and caregiving stress where these affect daily functioning.

She uses client-centred listening to understand each person’s priorities before suggesting strategies. Techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and CBT are used when helpful for managing intense feelings and changing unhelpful thoughts or patterns.

Practical matters such as sleeping, eating, work and parenting are commonly part of the work. She also addresses intimacy, sexuality and LGBT concerns alongside career and life changes. Sessions aim to build coping skills that can be used between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions

Jean commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try based on goals and preferences. This collaborative process may mean trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or health needs. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for choosing audio rather than video if that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work well in an online setting.
