Background and approach

Jean draws on body-aware methods alongside talking therapy to help people notice how stress shows up in the body. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people clarify values and improve relationships with themselves and others. Cognitive techniques are used where helpful to address unhelpful thinking patterns.

People come for a range of concerns, from sleep and eating problems to anger, parenting strain, career stress and long-term health issues. She also supports those facing issues related to identity, adoption, caregiving and chronic conditions. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered remotely by video, phone, chat or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit the client’s availability. Costs vary with location and subscription terms.

How Jean’s approaches translate to online therapy

Somatic-informed work helps people notice where tension sits in the body and learn simple ways to unwind physical reactions to stress. This can include gentle awareness exercises and movement suggestions that often transfer well to video or phone sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then taking small steps that match a person’s values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation issues and works well in conversations that include practical exercises between sessions.

Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That perspective helps people understand their reactions in close relationships and make different choices over time. The therapist will draw on these approaches collaboratively to find what fits best for each client.

Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video lets the therapist and client work closely together, while phone, live chat and text-based messaging provide options for those who prefer less visual or real-time contact. Together they make it easier to maintain continuity and practice new skills between sessions.
