Jean Fletcher, BACP

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor with a BACP registration and four years of professional experience in the UK. She has worked full time in a charity setting and now sees people in private practice. Jean aims to make the first step easier for people who feel nervous about starting therapy.

Jean focuses on practical conversations about stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She also supports people facing relationship or intimacy concerns, questions about identity, and those coping with long-term health conditions or chronic pain. Sessions often address self-esteem, motivation, sleep and eating issues, and day-to-day coping skills.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She listens first, then tailors the approach to each person. Techniques are drawn from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but Jean adapts these to what works for the individual.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through. Jean uses short-term goal setting alongside longer conversations when appropriate. She also helps people build practical tools for managing emotions and improving routines.

Before booking, clients should check current session options and scheduling. Jean works with people who want to address emotional challenges, life transitions, and difficulties linked to health or caregiving. She aims to make therapy achievable and relevant to everyday life.

How Jean’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with long-term health conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises to change mood and behaviour; it suits problems like sleep, eating and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and long-standing relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences and daily life. She adapts techniques as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the profile. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or choose audio-only times when bandwidth is low. Jean aims to make therapy practical so it can be used alongside everyday routines.
