About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has practised for 20 years in the United Kingdom. She has worked across the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Her experience includes trauma related to amputation, neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis, and neurodivergence assessments for ADHD and autism.
She supports people facing chronic health conditions, body image concerns and the emotional impact of disability. She also works with issues linked to LGBTQ+ wellbeing, domestic violence, grief, anxiety and stress. Jean lists relationship and intimacy-related matters among her areas of focus, alongside parenting, career questions and self-esteem.
Jean uses approaches rooted in person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relevant to emotional and relationship patterns. Sessions aim to identify underlying emotional themes and practical steps people can try between appointments.
Her style is straightforward and professional, with an emphasis on working at a pace the client is comfortable with. She describes herself as non-judgmental and respectful, and aims to help people make changes that matter to them. People often come with a mix of practical life stressors and deeper emotional concerns.
Jean accepts international clients and offers help in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Using EFT, attachment and CBT approaches in online work
Jean lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) as one of her approaches. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions, and understanding how those emotions shape close connections and personal patterns. It can be useful when people struggle to recognise or talk about strong emotions.She also uses attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationship patterns influence current responses. This approach helps with recurring worries about safety, closeness and trust in important relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another strand she uses; CBT looks at practical links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision can change as work progresses, and she will adapt sessions based on what proves most helpful.
