Jean Fletcher, BACP

Jean Fletcher is a UK-credentialed counsellor with four years of professional experience, having worked full time in a charity setting and more recently in private practice. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised training and commitment to professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Jean practices from a trauma-informed perspective and has supported people through stress and anxiety, experiences of trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every conversation and designs therapeutic plans to meet each person’s specific circumstances and goals.

Recognising that beginning therapy can feel daunting, Jean aims to make the first steps more manageable by offering a personal, safe, and non-judgemental space for exploration. She works collaboratively with clients to pace sessions and adapt interventions so that therapy fits the individual’s needs and helps them move forward at their own speed.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and develop flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. It is often used for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections and intimacy. This approach is useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and issues rooted in abandonment or early care experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and problems with self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jean Fletcher works collaboratively with each person and will help determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it can make sessions easier to fit around work, family, or travel and enables access to licensed professionals across different locations. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and personalise how they engage in therapy.
