Jack English, BACP, NCPS

Jack English works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. He supports those dealing with addiction, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting concerns and career challenges. Jack also focuses on problems such as abandonment, communication breakdowns, control issues, and isolation or loneliness.

Jack brings ten years of professional experience and a BA (Hons) degree to his counselling. He is registered with BACP and NCPS. His style is direct and down-to-earth. He avoids jargon and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical.

Having spent a decade in the British Army, including frontline deployments, Jack says that experience shaped his resilience and practical outlook. He uses that background to offer a steady, calm presence in sessions and to relate to people who prefer a clear, honest approach.

In practice he works in a person-centred way, letting clients set the pace and the topics. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused methods when these suit the goals people bring. For trauma-related issues he applies trauma-focused approaches alongside this person-led work.

Sessions are focused on real-life problems. Expect straightforward conversation, practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting. Jack aims to help people find their strengths again and move forward at a pace that suits them.

How Jack's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client's lead, listens actively and helps the person make their own choices. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through emotional pain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple, practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and support behaviour change for issues like anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jack will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods suit the situation best. He frames this as a collaborative process where the client helps shape the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online sessions that mirror their in-person work and can adapt exercises and tools to suit remote appointments.
