About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She has worked across the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean’s listed concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, and blended family issues among many others.
She uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Jean listens for patterns that cause ongoing worry, then helps people test new ways of responding.
Her background includes work with chronic illness and disability, body image and amputation-related trauma. Jean has experience with neurodivergence, including assessment for ADHD and autism, and with LGBTQ+ concerns. She also notes work addressing domestic violence and mental health in clinical settings.
In practical terms she aims to be direct and professional, and to treat people with respect and dignity. The therapist describes working at the client’s pace and paying attention to what matters most in daily life. That may mean focusing on coping strategies, communication skills or small behavioural changes.
People looking for help with parenting pressures, co-parenting and the realities of merged households may find her experience relevant. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging the first session. The site’s online options button leads to the next steps for booking and scheduling.
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions using this lens look at loyalty, trust and connection patterns and how those affect daily life in new households.Client-centred work means the therapist follows the person’s concerns and pace. In practice this becomes open conversation about what feels most urgent, with the therapist reflecting back and helping clarify choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises to test different thoughts and small behaviour experiments people can try between meetings.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree what to try based on the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as things change so the approach stays useful.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit around school runs, work breaks or medical appointments. It also allows sessions without travel and supports steady progress through short, regular meetings or longer sessions when needed.
