About Jack
Jack English is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has ten years of professional experience. He spent a decade in the British Army before qualifying and brings a practical, straightforward manner to sessions. His work focuses on common young adult pressures such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationships and career concerns. He also supports people facing trauma, addictions, grief and intimacy-related problems.
Jack uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client in control of the work. He avoids jargon and aims to talk plainly about feelings and choices. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused when that suits the person, while allowing space to slow down and reflect when needed.
Alongside person-centred practice he draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques to tackle specific patterns and practical problems. For people affected by traumatic experiences he can use trauma-focused methods to help process difficult memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. He adapts the mix depending on what someone wants to work on.
Jack’s military background informs a down-to-earth style and a focus on resilience and practical coping. He has experience supporting people coming out of highly structured environments and those adjusting to major life changes. He also has experience with fatherhood issues, first responder concerns and relationship breakdown.
Sessions are offered in English and Jack accepts international clients. He notes that fees vary by location and that sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Jack tailors therapies for online sessions
Jack commonly uses person-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make practical changes. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client directs the themes for discussion. It suits people who need space to voice confusion or make sense of big life shifts.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood, anger and addictive patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing out new habits. Solution-focused ideas are also used to set short-term, concrete goals and spot what already works.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jack will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together he and the client decide which methods to try and adjust them over time, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or caring routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can be useful when a quieter setting is preferable.
