About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with BACP registration and 20 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked across the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy and aims to help people make positive change in their lives.
Her work often involves supporting people who face trauma, chronic health conditions and disability. She has particular experience with amputation, multiple sclerosis and neurodivergence including assessment for ADHD and autism. She also helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy-related worries.
Jean combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on the issues brought into the room. She stays non-judgemental and practical, giving time to uncover underlying patterns and develop manageable steps forward.
Clients can expect a direct and respectful style. Jean aims to help people regain a sense of control and build coping skills for everyday life. Her approach is flexible to each person's needs and circumstances.
Over two decades of clinical experience inform her work, particularly with long-term health challenges and LGBTQ+ concerns. People who value clear, compassionate support and practical tools may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jean uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside a client-centred way of working. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which can help with intimacy worries and long-standing trust issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward tools to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jean will talk through your goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit your needs. This is done together so the plan can change as you learn what helps most.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, making it easier to attend when travel or mobility is difficult, and enabling shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday demands.
