About Jean

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years' experience, Jean Flynn helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, grief, self-esteem struggles and trauma. She also supports people dealing with mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and with challenges including ADHD and intimacy-related concerns.

Jean uses straightforward conversations to identify what is worrying someone and what they want to change. She draws on client-centred ways of working to focus on the person's experience, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and patterns, and psychodynamic ideas when exploring longer-standing personal themes. Solution-focused methods are used when people want practical steps and short-term goals.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented when needed. Jean will work with each person to agree priorities and choose methods that suit them. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps as well as exploring the feelings behind difficult situations.

Jean has three years of practice in the UK and is registered with the BACP, which is shown here as BACP. She works with a wide range of difficulties including complex trauma, eating and food-related issues, dissociation, domestic violence and sexual assault and abuse.

People can expect concise talking therapy focused on what matters to them, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer conversations about past experiences. Before the first session Jean asks questions to understand needs and to plan an initial approach.

How Jean uses therapy approaches in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following what they say matters. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to make decisions about what to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress where concrete coping tools are helpful.

Psychodynamic work explores patterns that come from past relationships or early experiences and how these affect current reactions. This can help when someone wants to understand repeating difficulties or deep-rooted emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pacing are made together so the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote work to help people keep therapy practical alongside work or family commitments.
