About Jean

Jean Fletcher works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and grief using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas. She is a BACP member and has four years of professional experience in counselling, including charity work and private practice.

Jean offers direct, practical conversations. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, loss, and changes in life. Sessions focus on what is causing trouble now and on small steps to manage day-to-day strain.

Her background includes full-time counselling in a charity setting and subsequent private practice work. That mix has given her experience with a broad range of concerns from long-term stress to trauma and abuse. She also works with issues around self-esteem, motivation, and confidence.

Jean draws on a few well-known approaches rather than a single method. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship and intimacy difficulties.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Jean will talk through what someone wants to change and agree practical ways to get there. She also supports people with additional challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and neurodiversity-related concerns.

Her practice accommodates English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.

Attachment-based ideas concentrate on patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses. This can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and attachment concerns.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss a client's goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. Together they will agree practical steps and review progress as sessions continue.

Confirm the counsellor's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also offers flexibility for people who live abroad or who need to manage ongoing caregiving, health, or work commitments.
