About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with over 20 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP membership, and has worked across the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean focuses on practical, person-centred support that helps people move forward from difficult experiences.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and anger. She also supports people with long-term health conditions, body image issues, neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism, and matters linked to sexuality and identity. She has particular experience with amputation-related trauma and multiple sclerosis.
Jean uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. She aims to be direct and respectful in sessions while staying non-judgemental.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Jean helps people identify patterns, try practical steps and build on what works. The goal is to support positive change in everyday life.
If someone prefers a steady, pragmatic style with space to talk through painful experiences, Jean offers that kind of professional and supportive approach. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.
How Jean’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online conversations can help a person notice how they relate to others and practise new ways of connecting.Client-centred therapy gives the client space to be heard and understood. In an online session the counsellor listens carefully and follows the client’s pace, offering reflection and gentle guidance to help clarify next steps.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at what someone thinks and does, and tries small practical changes to shift mood and behaviour. Online sessions can include simple exercises and homework between meetings to test new ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and agree a plan together rather than imposing a fixed method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to access an experienced counsellor from different locations, including international clients.
