Background and approach

Conversations are shaped around each person’s situation, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions balance short-term coping skills with longer-term changes to thoughts and behaviours. Her approach draws on several recognised methods, including cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based tools to build valued action.

Attachment ideas are used to understand relationship patterns and improve intimacy and communication. Dialectical skills help with strong emotions and finding steadier ways to cope. People come to Jean for many reasons, including relationship strain, parenting stress, eating or sleeping difficulties, work pressures, low self-esteem, and questions around identity.

She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, and major life transitions. She is willing to work with international clients and runs sessions in English. Jean asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Her sessions run through flexible online formats, and billing uses a subscription which can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Jean uses cognitive behavioural tools to help people recognise and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT techniques often include practical exercises and simple behaviour experiments that translate well to online sessions and short at-home practice.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help when someone is stuck in avoidance or struggling to make changes amid strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will discuss what feels most helpful, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not wanted, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
