About Jean

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor who trained and works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has four years of professional experience, first as a full-time counsellor in a charity and now in private practice. Jean focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief and life changes. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Jean uses a trauma-aware approach and shapes sessions to each person's needs. She listens for the everyday patterns that cause distress and helps people build small, reachable steps to feel steadier. Conversations cover coping skills, reducing unhelpful thinking, emotion regulation and ways to improve day-to-day routines like sleep and self-care.

Her style is warm and respectful. She emphasises sensitivity and non-judgement while helping people identify what matters most to them. Sessions are collaborative, with time spent agreeing what to work on and how progress will be judged.

Jean has experience supporting a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting, loss, ADHD, bipolar and issues linked to identity such as LGBT matters. She also works with physical-health related challenges like chronic pain and caring responsibilities, helping clients manage stress and find practical adjustments.

People who value clear, steady guidance tend to find her approach helpful. She explains techniques in plain language and focuses on small changes that fit into daily life. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

How Jean's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters most and take small, concrete steps towards those values. It is useful for stress, worry and making changes that stick. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety and improve routines such as sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jean works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss which techniques feel useful and adapt them over time based on what is helpful in practice.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or fitting a short check-in during a lunch break. It also allows continuity when circumstances change and lets people try techniques in the environments where problems happen, such as adjusting bedtime routines at home.
