About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with over 20 years’ experience working in the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). Jean aims to offer a straightforward, respectful way to help people make changes they want in life.
Jean works in a calm, non-judgemental manner and keeps things practical. Sessions often focus on what the person wants to achieve and on small, manageable steps toward those goals. She listens for the issues underlying stress, anxiety or grief and helps people name what feels difficult.
Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma, long-term health conditions and limb amputation. She also has experience with neurodivergence assessments such as ADHD and autism, and with concerns around body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.
Jean blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions can include reflective listening, practical exercises and short-term goal planning tailored to the person’s pace. She stresses dignity, flexibility and honest professional input.
If someone prefers a practical session focused on coping strategies, recovery from loss, or managing mood and relationships, Jean offers a direct and steady style. The first step is usually a short matching process to connect with her and arrange the next appointment.
How Jean's approaches work online
Jean uses attachment-informed thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide therapeutic work. Attachment-based ideas focus on how relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help when dealing with abandonment, relationship strain or intimacy concerns. Cognitive behavioural work looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and supports practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions often mix listening, reflective feedback and short exercises so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Jean currently offers before booking. Many people appreciate online counselling for fitting appointments into busy lives, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins around work or family routines. Online working can also make it easier to use written exercises or share worksheets during a session. Confirm the available formats when you book so you know how a session will be delivered.
