Jean Fletcher , BACP

Jean Fletcher is a UK-based counsellor who brings four years of professional experience to her private practice after working full time for a charity. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to recognised professional standards in counselling. Jean is trauma informed and has supported people through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs and goals. Jean works with a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, neurodiversity-related issues, mood disorders, and life transitions. Her practice also includes focus areas such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related issues.

Recognising that starting therapy can feel daunting, Jean aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore their feelings and emotions about the difficulties they are facing. She collaborates with clients to develop practical ways forward, drawing on evidence-informed approaches to support clearer understanding and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Support

Jean uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a life that matters to them; ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal goals, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation issues. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and family dynamics, supporting work on attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) features in her approach to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jean works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adapts the plan to ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing care while accommodating personal schedules and communication preferences.
