About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of practice in England. She has worked across the NHS, private practice and employee assistance programmes. Jean focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and a wide range of life challenges.
She has considerable experience supporting people with long-term health conditions and disability, including amputation and multiple sclerosis. Jean also works with neurodivergent assessment needs such as ADHD and autism, and with concerns linked to body image, caregiving, and chronic pain. She lists LGBT issues, domestic violence, relationship and intimacy-related matters among her areas of work.
Jean uses person-centred, cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ways of working. In practice this means conversations that start with what matters to the client, then look at unhelpful thinking and small, practical steps to change patterns. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented when that suits the person.
Her stated approach is open and direct. She aims to treat people with respect and dignity, and to work at a pace the client can manage. Jean describes her role as supporting people to explore underlying issues and to make positive change in everyday life.
If someone is worried about anger, relationship strain or adjustment after illness, Jean offers practical ways to talk through those problems. To begin she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session.
How sessions work
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Jean lists Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural approaches among her ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect present reactions and can help with anger linked to trust and closeness. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s priorities and uses reflective listening to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours, and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean aims to agree on methods together, matching the approach to what the client wants to address, their goals and how they prefer to work. That means trying practical tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan over time in collaboration with the client.
The biography does not list which session formats are currently used, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer work this way while keeping the focus on practical strategies to manage anger, stress and related concerns.
