Jack English, BACP, NCPS

Jack English is a straightforward, person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He supports people coping with life changes, relationship and family problems, addictions, trauma, grief and intimacy-related issues. Jack also works with concerns such as parenting, career pressures, abandonment, communication problems and isolation. He served ten years in the British Army and brings that practical perspective to his work.

Jack uses a conversational, down-to-earth style. Sessions are led by the person who comes to therapy, with the counsellor alongside to listen, reflect and offer practical ways forward. He avoids jargon and judgement, encouraging people to identify strengths and small steps they can try between sessions.

His background includes a BA (Hons) degree and a decade of professional practice. Those years of work have involved people from varied backgrounds, including veterans and young people from care settings. That range has helped him develop an adaptable approach to different life challenges.

Jack draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to match what each person needs. He will work with the individual to decide which methods fit best for their situation and goals.

People who meet him can expect direct conversation, practical suggestions and steady support while they make changes. He aims to help people regain confidence, manage strong feelings and rebuild routines that make day-to-day life easier.

How Jack uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create an environment where they can talk openly. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own answers, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jack will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process and the chosen approach can shift if different tools are needed.

Confirm the session formats before you book, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also lets people keep to a routine while making space for focused conversation and practical tasks between meetings.
