Jean Fletcher, BACP

Jean Fletcher is a UK-credentialed counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings four years of professional experience, including full-time counselling in a charity and more recent work in private practice. She is trauma-informed and has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Jean approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversation and treatment plans to meet individual needs and goals. She recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and sometimes feels daunting, and she aims to provide a safe, personal, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and life circumstances at their own pace.

Combining her charity background with private practice experience, Jean offers practical, person-focused support designed to help clients develop coping skills, build resilience, and increase confidence. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals and adapt the pace of therapy to suit each client’s situation.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Jean draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to inform online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, clarify what matters most, and take practical steps toward those values - it is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and unhelpful behavioural patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences influence current ways of connecting and can support work on intimacy, abandonment issues, and relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathetic listening and the client’s own capacity for insight and change, which can strengthen self-esteem and support coping through life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jean will collaborate with each client to identify or combine methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so clients can choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort. For many people this accessibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage with registered professionals and therapists from wherever they are.
