About Jack

Jack English is a straight-talking counsellor who focuses on work and wellbeing concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He draws on ten years of experience to help people cope with life changes, addiction issues, grief and relationship strains. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth, with the client guiding the pace and topics. Jack holds a BA (Hons) and is listed with BACP and NCPS.

His background includes a decade of service in the British Army, including frontline deployments. Those years shaped a resilient, practical approach to problems and a preference for plain language over clinical jargon. He describes his style as meeting people where they are and walking alongside them rather than telling them what to do.

Jack uses person-centred ways of working that put the client's perspective first. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused techniques to build small, achievable steps forward. He adapts the mix to each person's situation and goals.

In sessions he aims to address practical issues like motivation, communication problems and coping with work stress. He also supports people through trauma-related difficulties, addiction, fatherhood concerns and recovery after relationship breakdowns. The focus is on clear, manageable actions and steady progress.

If someone is unsure where to start, Jack helps set simple goals and checks progress along the way. He keeps language straightforward and avoids judgement, encouraging people to notice their strengths and use them to move forward.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities. In practice this looks like a counsellor who listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. It is helpful for low self-esteem, life changes and building confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to test new ways of coping. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress, and often involves simple exercises between sessions to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures, and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life. It can reduce travel time and make short, focused check-ins simpler to schedule. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will suit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective therapeutic support online when approaches and scheduling suit the client's needs.
