About Jack English

Jack English is a straight-talking, person-centred counsellor whose down-to-earth manner reflects a decade of disciplined experience and real-world perspective. He spent 10 years in the British Army, including frontline deployments with the Desert Rats, and those years helped shape a resilient, practical approach to supporting people through difficult times.

With a BA (Hons) and professional credentials including BACP and NCPS, he brings both formal training and lived experience to his work. He prefers clear, jargon-free conversations and creates a space where people can lead the direction of therapy while he offers steady, non-judgemental support.

Jack has worked with a wide range of people, from fellow veterans to young people navigating the care system, and focuses on helping clients tackle issues such as anger, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and motivation. He emphasizes uncovering strengths and practical steps forward rather than labels or complicated theory.

Respectful of the courage it takes to seek help, he aims to walk alongside clients as they regain a sense of agency and purpose. Jack values collaboration, clarity, and a pragmatic style that helps clients move through obstacles and toward the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jack English

Jack works from a person-centred foundation, placing the client's perspective and goals at the heart of therapy. This approach involves listening without judgement and supporting people to explore their feelings and choices, which can help with self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is practical and structured and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. When past events continue to affect daily life, Trauma-Focused therapy offers ways to process and make sense of those experiences while building coping strategies to manage triggers and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jack works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to adapt techniques to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Jack is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and therapists from varied locations, allowing people to continue work on their mental health in a way that fits their life.
