Therapeutic approaches and online care with Jean Briscoe
Jean primarily draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches, alongside attachment-informed ideas, to support people in therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and priorities; it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes and improving relationships.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based ideas explore patterns of relating and emotional connection, which can be useful when addressing relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and earlier experiences of loss or abandonment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Jean will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use and how to adapt them over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs and allow people to access registered professionals and therapists from different locations while keeping the focus on meaningful change and practical support.
