Jean Fletcher , BACP

Jean Fletcher is a UK-based counsellor who brings a trauma-informed approach to her work, combining years of charity sector experience with a developing private practice. She holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional training and adherence to UK counselling standards. Over four years of practice, Jean has supported people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and the many challenges that accompany life transitions.

Jean works with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care tailored to each person’s situation. She emphasizes collaborative planning, shaping conversations and treatment strategies around individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Those taking the first step toward therapy can expect a non-judgemental, personal space in which to explore feelings, process difficult experiences, and build practical coping skills.

Her clinical interests include relationships, family dynamics, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others. Jean aims to help clients improve daily functioning and emotional wellbeing by combining evidence-informed methods with genuine empathy and clear, achievable goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and support

Jean draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to tailor online work to each client. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections and emotional responses - it is often helpful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jean collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from wherever a client is located, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for starting and continuing therapy with licensed professionals and therapists.
