About Jean

Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Jean has worked in the NHS, independent practice and employee assistance programmes, so she is used to different settings and pressures.

Her work focuses on people coping with trauma, long-term health conditions and challenges to body image. She also accepts clients concerned about anxiety, depression, grief, anger and relationship or intimacy issues.

Background and approach

Jean has particular experience supporting people with neurodivergent presentations such as ADHD and autism, and she has worked with people affected by amputation and multiple sclerosis. Jean uses a person-centred way of working and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. Sessions aim to be direct and practical.

She takes a respectful, non-judgemental stance and works at a pace that suits the individual. In practice she explores the issues a client brings and then helps identify small, achievable steps. This can include ways to manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety, improve communication and rebuild confidence.

Jean emphasises collaboration and clear, honest conversation throughout the process. Her background with NHS teams and employee assistance programmes means she is used to supporting people through work and health-related stress. People who want a practical, steady counsellor who listens and helps plan next steps may find her approach helpful.

Ways of working Jean names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jean uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where concerns are followed at the client’s pace. This approach is helpful for building trust and exploring personal issues like grief, anxiety or self-esteem.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, managing strong emotions and practical coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean treats therapy as collaborative and will discuss options with clients, matching methods to their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That means sessions may blend listening, practical tasks and short techniques based on how the person responds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick check-ins work well by text and live chat suits people who prefer typed communication. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and health commitments.
