Jean Briscoe , BACP

Jean Briscoe is a seasoned clinical therapist and counsellor practitioner based in the United Kingdom, bringing over 20 years of experience across the National Health Service (NHS), private practice, and Employment Assisted Program settings. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors in the UK - and is licensed to practise in England, UK.

Her work has a strong focus on trauma, with particular experience supporting people who have experienced limb amputation. She also has significant experience working with multiple sclerosis (MS), neurodivergent assessments for ADHD and autism, and a wide range of issues related to disability, body image and chronic health conditions. Additional areas of focus include LGBTQ+ concerns, domestic violence, mental health and wellbeing, grief, relationship and family difficulties, eating concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes.

Jean practises using person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT) and solution-focused methods, tailoring her approach to each individual. She emphasises an honest, non-judgemental stance that treats people with respect and dignity while remaining flexible to their needs. Her aim is to support and empower people to make positive change by exploring underlying psychological issues at a pace that feels right for them. She welcomes contact from those ready to take a step toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jean Briscoe draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to guide her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathetic, non-directive support that helps people feel heard and respected while they work through personal challenges such as grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can support people dealing with anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jean works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best align with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy with Jean is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and to continue consistent care when in-person meetings are difficult.
