About Jack

Jack English works on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting and career concerns. He uses a straightforward person-centred style and aims to keep sessions practical and direct. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of professional experience.

Jack draws on his background in the British Army and a BA (Hons) degree to offer a down-to-earth counselling approach. He prefers clear language and avoids clinical jargon. In sessions he listens, reflects and helps people identify the next steps they want to try.

His practice often focuses on everyday difficulties such as coping with life changes, low mood, feeling isolated, problems with communication, and issues around fatherhood. He also supports work on addiction-related concerns, anger, control issues, and the aftermath of relationship breakdowns. People who have experienced trauma or abuse may find his trauma-focused work relevant.

Jack combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies when these are useful. That means sessions can include exploring thoughts and behaviours, setting small achievable goals, and trying practical exercises between meetings. He keeps the pace appropriate to each person’s needs.

Sessions are conducted in a straightforward manner that aims to make talking easier. Jack values collaboration and helps people choose which practical steps to try next. He welcomes clients who prefer a practical, no-nonsense style of counselling.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Jack uses person-centred counselling to focus on what matters to the individual, listening and reflecting so the client can decide which issues to address and at what pace. This approach suits people who want to lead the conversation and set their own goals.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small practical changes. CBT often includes short exercises or tasks to try between sessions and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, measurable goals and to build on existing strengths through practical steps and brief interventions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work with him. He will discuss which methods might help based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the plan collaboratively as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or face-to-face options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective care remotely when people prefer it.
