About Jack
Jack English is a straight-talking counsellor who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety and depression. He keeps language plain and avoids jargon so clients can talk about what matters. Jack presents as down-to-earth and direct, and invites people to lead the conversation while he offers steady support.
He trained to a BA (Hons) level and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Those letters indicate recognised professional registrations he maintains.
Background and approach
Jack’s background includes ten years in the British Army, including frontline deployments, and that experience shaped his resilient, no-nonsense approach. In sessions he uses person-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. That means he listens first, then helps people spot repeating patterns, try practical experiments, and set small goals that feel manageable.
He also draws on trauma-focused ideas when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Common concerns Jack helps with include anger, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and relationship problems. He also works with grief, parenting questions, career stress and issues like abandonment, guilt and isolation.
He aims to help people regain agency and take small steps forward. Jack offers a calm, collaborative style. He encourages straightforward conversation and practical planning.
If someone prefers a more structured path, he blends techniques to fit their goals and pace.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try options and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s situation, whether they need steady listening, structured tasks or short problem‑solving conversations.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check‑ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and usable steps.
