Jean Briscoe, BACP

Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with 20 years of experience working in the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). Jean often supports people coping with chronic health conditions, disability and body image concerns alongside trauma, grief and anxiety.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She offers person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to help people make practical, manageable changes in daily life.

Jean has worked with a wide range of issues, including amputation-related trauma, multiple sclerosis and neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism. She also works with relationship and intimacy questions, eating and self-esteem concerns, and the emotional impact of caregiving and cancer.

In the therapy room she seeks to be honest and non-judgemental, treating people with dignity. Conversations focus on what matters now and on building steps towards clearer thinking and better coping. Clients can expect a flexible, collaborative process that is tailored to their goals.

People who choose Jean often want a practical, calm space to talk through stress, depression, trauma or life transitions. She helps individuals untangle emotional patterns and develop tools to manage symptoms and everyday pressures.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work with this approach helps people notice connection styles, repair difficult interactions, and make different choices in close relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects understanding, helping clients clarify their own goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Jean will work with each person to decide what fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity of care when travel is difficult. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around appointments or manage energy levels when dealing with chronic illness.
