Jean Briscoe , BACP

Jean Briscoe is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and a clinical therapist and counsellor practitioner licensed in England, United Kingdom. She has built more than 20 years of experience working across the National Health Service, private practice and employee assistance programmes, bringing deep clinical expertise to complex trauma presentations, including work with clients following limb amputation.

Her practice also includes supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis and conducting neurodivergent assessments for ADHD and autism. Jean’s experience spans disability-related concerns, body image and chronic health conditions, alongside work with LGBTQ+ clients, survivors of domestic violence and a wide range of mental health and wellbeing issues. She draws on person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT) and solution-focused approaches to tailor interventions to each individual.

Jean engages in an honest, professional and non-judgemental way, treating clients with respect and dignity while offering flexibility in how she works. Her aim is to support and empower people to make positive change by exploring underlying psychological issues and working at a pace that feels right for the client. She welcomes contact from prospective clients and looks forward to offering support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jean Briscoe combines evidence-based methods to support clients in an online setting. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering empathetic listening and a supportive space to explore feelings and build self-understanding - this approach is helpful for issues such as grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress by working on thoughts, behaviours and coping skills. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns in close relationships and can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will work with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling health issues, work or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy, access licensed professionals from different locations and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
