About Jean

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

Jean uses straightforward conversation to help clients untangle difficult feelings. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns and the ways emotions show up in daily life. She also works with issues around motivation, confidence, eating and sleeping, and life changes.

Her background includes trauma-informed work in community services and one-to-one practice. Jean draws on several clinical approaches to match the work to each person. These include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques.

Sessions focus on identifying what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can use between meetings. Jean talks through emotions, relationship patterns and coping skills so people can try things out in real situations. She explains approaches plainly and adapts the pace to what each person needs.

Jean offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She uses a subscription model for payments that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session by selecting the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with emotions that drive relationship patterns. It focuses on how people respond to each other and aims to change unhelpful interaction cycles by exploring feelings and needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values. It supports practical steps to act in ways that match those values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-based work looks at early and current relationship patterns that affect trust, closeness and emotional responses. It can be useful for people wanting to understand why certain relationship triggers keep repeating. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and the issues they want to address. Together they decide which methods to use and how to pace the work so it fits practical life needs. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt exercises and homework so they work between meetings.
