About Jean
Jean Briscoe is a counsellor with two decades of experience in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). Jean has worked across the NHS, independent practice and employee assistance programmes, and she draws on that background when meeting people who are struggling.
Her work often focuses on trauma, including the psychological impact of limb amputation, and on long-term health conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with neurodivergence assessments for ADHD and autism, body image concerns, and the challenges of chronic pain and illness. Jean uses person-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas. Sessions are practical and paced to each person, with an emphasis on honesty, respect and a non-judgemental stance.
She aims to help people identify underlying issues and make changes that fit their lives. People who come to her for support include those coping with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, workplace stress and identity questions such as LGBT matters. She also offers help around eating concerns, bipolar management, and communication or commitment problems.
Her approach is collaborative and flexible. Jean invites people to move at their own speed while building skills and clearer thinking. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How Jean works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods collaboratively so the work feels useful and manageable.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make attendance simpler for people living with chronic health conditions or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss how to structure sessions so they suit everyday life and therapeutic aims.
