About Jean

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She aims to be non-judgemental and to treat people with dignity. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on what matters most right now.
Background and approach
Jean has specialised experience with trauma, including work with limb amputation, and with long-term health issues such as multiple sclerosis. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic pain and disability, and the mental health impacts of cancer and caregiving stress.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and depression, and also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, career questions, and issues linked to ADHD and neurodivergence. Additional areas include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and codependency. Jean draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques.
She uses these approaches to help clients spot unhelpful patterns, try new ways of coping, and set achievable goals. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage everyday challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Jean accepts international clients.

Online support
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to explore how early relationships affect current connections and emotional reactions. That can help with intimacy issues, commitment worries and communication problems by making patterns clearer and easier to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls let the pair work face to face from different places, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, health appointments or family life.
