About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a BACP-registered counsellor with 20 years' experience in England. She has worked across the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. She lists trauma, chronic health conditions, neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ concerns among the issues she addresses.
Jean focuses on clear, practical work rather than abstract theory. She uses person-centred listening alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and small steps that make daily life easier.
Her background includes supporting people after limb amputation and those living with multiple sclerosis. She also has experience with ADHD and autism assessments and with longer-term conditions that affect body image and wellbeing. This gives her particular familiarity with disability-related stress and changes in identity.
In sessions she stays direct and respectful. Conversations look at the problems brought in, the thoughts that keep them going, and concrete next steps to try between meetings. Pace is set by the client and work can include short-term problem solving or deeper emotional exploration.
Jean accepts clients based internationally and works in English. She describes her practice as professional and flexible, aiming to help people make practical changes. To begin, readers are invited to use the online matching and booking process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Jean combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and person-centred counselling in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce stress and anxiety. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current reactions. Person-centred counselling places the client's experience at the centre and uses listening to help clarify goals.Finding the right mix is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your situation, goals and preferences and agree which approaches to try. That plan can change as work progresses, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs a different method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when that suits the client. They also let people work from different locations, which can help maintain consistency across life changes. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you start the matching and scheduling process.
