Jean Briscoe

Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with more than 20 years' experience in the UK. She trained and practised across the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean is a member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and she focuses on helping people who are coping with loss, trauma, stress and relationship strain.

Jean uses a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. She stays non-judgemental and works at each person's pace. Her aim is to help people recognise the patterns that get in the way and make small, practical changes that improve daily life.

Her background includes work with people affected by limb amputation, multiple sclerosis and long-term health conditions. She also supports people navigating body image, neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD and autism assessments, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identities and domestic abuse.

Jean commonly blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused strategies. Sessions typically involve talking things through, identifying unhelpful thoughts or behaviours, and trying out new ways of responding between meetings. Mindfulness and attachment-informed perspectives also inform her work when helpful.

She describes her role as practical and empowering. Jean helps people build coping skills, improve communication and regain a sense of control when life feels overwhelming. Readers who want to take the next step can follow the site booking process to find out more and arrange sessions.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and closeness. In sessions this often means exploring patterns in relationships and building safer ways to connect and express emotion. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre; the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which ways of working to try. That collaborative step helps shape how sessions unfold and what practical tools are used between meetings.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit talking therapy into a busy week. They often reduce travel time and let people schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Before booking, confirm which session formats are available for this therapist, as formats are not specified in the profile. The focus is on making therapy accessible and practical so people can try new coping strategies in their everyday life.
