About Jack

Jack English is a straight-talking counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, trauma and problems with self-esteem. He draws on ten years of professional experience and a background in the British Army to offer steady, practical support. Jack uses plain language and a down-to-earth style so people can talk without jargon or judgement.

He trained in client-centred practice and holds a BA (Hons) degree, with credentials listed as BACP and NCPS.

Background and approach

Jack focuses on what the person wants to work on and follows their lead in sessions. He also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused approaches when they fit the client’s needs. Many people come to him for help with anger, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, or the impact of trauma and abuse.

He also supports those facing career change, parenting strains, family conflict, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. First responder issues, fatherhood concerns and difficulties after separation are areas he commonly addresses. Jack aims to create a calm, no-nonsense space where people can make sense of difficult emotions and try new ways of coping.

Sessions are conversational, focused on goals, and shaped around what the client finds useful. He encourages practical steps alongside reflective work. For people who prefer remote options, Jack offers several online formats and can work with international clients.

To begin, a short questionnaire helps match needs and priorities before scheduling sessions.

Ways of working Jack names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Jack’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jack uses client-centred counselling and trauma-focused work as core approaches online. Client-centred therapy means sessions focus on what matters most to the person, with the counsellor listening and reflecting rather than directing. This helps people feel heard and decide the pace and focus of their own work.

Trauma-focused therapy involves addressing the impact of past traumatic events and learning ways to reduce their hold on daily life. In practice this can include grounding techniques, gradual work through difficult memories, and developing coping strategies to manage triggers and intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jack will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and comfort level. The collaboration helps tailor sessions to current needs and preferred ways of working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and location while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
