Jean Briscoe, BACP

Jean Briscoe is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and a clinical therapist and counsellor practitioner licensed in England, United Kingdom. She brings over 20 years of experience across the National Health Service (NHS), private practice, and employee assistance programmes, combining clinical expertise with practical support for everyday challenges.

Jean specialises in trauma work, including amputation-related trauma, and supports people living with conditions such as multiple sclerosis and other chronic health issues. She assesses neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism, and works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and body-image concerns, parenting, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her practice emphasises a person-centred ethos delivered through cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work, tailoring interventions to each individual. Jean engages clients with an honest, professional, and non-judgemental approach, treating people with respect and dignity while remaining flexible around appointment arrangements. Her goal is to support and empower clients to make positive change by exploring underlying psychological issues at a pace that feels right for them. She welcomes contact from those ready to take the first step toward change and looks forward to working collaboratively with people seeking help.

Attachment-informed and person-centered online support

Jean uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the person s own goals guide the work. This approach helps people who want to explore relationships, self-esteem, family dynamics, and life transitions at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is offered as a practical, skills-based option that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours often linked to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with chronic conditions. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her repertoire, focusing on how early relationship patterns affect current emotional responses and connection difficulties, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and attachment issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. Jean collaborates with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the way she works as those needs evolve. This collaborative way of working helps ensure the therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing access from different locations and accommodating varied schedules and energy levels. For many people, these options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow registered professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support where it is most needed.
