Jean Fletcher, BACP

Jean Fletcher is a counsellor with four years of professional experience working in the UK. She holds BACP registration and has worked full time in a charity before moving into private practice. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Jean works in a straightforward style. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with a plan that grows from the conversations they have together.

Her day-to-day work includes helping people rebuild confidence and motivation. She supports people who are managing relationship and intimacy questions, parenting pressures, career stress and the challenges of long-term conditions or caregiving.

Jean also helps people with neurodiversity-related concerns and attachment issues, and she lists ageing and geriatric issues among her focus areas. She uses a mix of practical and emotion-focused approaches to suit different problems and personalities.

She describes herself as trauma informed and will adapt the pace of work to each person's comfort. The first sessions are often about making space to talk and agree on goals for therapy.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can set up sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches work online and in therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in ways that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating when past patterns cause distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space so people can find their own solutions and come to clearer decisions.

Finding the right approach is often a process. Jean will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and what skills or reflections are introduced.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people the option to continue with their agreed plan if circumstances change, while the therapist and client stay focused on practical steps and emotional work that move things forward.
