About Jean

She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes professional membership with a recognised UK counselling body, and she is licensed in England, U.K. Jean has a broad clinical background with particular experience in trauma work - including work with people who have experienced limb amputation - and supporting clients with Multiple Sclerosis and other chronic health conditions.

She also undertakes neurodivergent assessment work for ADHD and autism, and has supported people dealing with disability, body image concerns, eating issues, and caregiving stress. Her practice includes work with LGBTQ+ clients, survivors of domestic violence, and people navigating grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, and career or life transitions. Jean lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar, anger, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem among her areas of focus.

Her therapeutic approach is person-centred and collaborative, drawing on cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused techniques as appropriate. Jean describes her manner as honest, professional, non-judgemental, and flexible, treating clients with respect and dignity while supporting them to explore underlying psychological concerns at their own pace and to make positive changes in their lives.

Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and acceptance - useful for building self-awareness, confidence, and coping during life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem-solving. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current emotional responses and relationship dynamics - it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and patterns that affect family and couple relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and increase access for people with mobility limits, busy lives, or geographic constraints. Registered professionals can provide consistent support through these formats, allowing clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them while maintaining continuity of care.
