Jack English, BACP, NCPS

Jack English helps with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with major life changes. He also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting and career pressures. Jack is straightforward and practical in his approach. He aims to create a calm space where people can speak plainly about what is worrying them.

Jack trained to degree level and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. He has ten years of professional experience and brings a down-to-earth manner to sessions. His background before counselling included service in the British Army, which he says shaped his resilience and practical outlook.

Jack uses client-centred ways of working to make sure people feel heard and understood. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify small, achievable steps that move people forward.

Sessions are paced to the individual. Conversations cover current problems, practical coping strategies and clearer ways to handle difficult emotions. Jack aims to help people build confidence, repair relationships and manage cravings or impulses where addiction is a concern.

People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, divorce or separation, fatherhood matters, first responder stress, guilt, shame, isolation and problems around infidelity. Jack works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. He uses a direct but empathetic style to help people find workable solutions.

Approaches that work online and in conversation

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and following their lead. It is useful for people who need a listening ear and space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and tackle unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That collaborative plan can change over time as you notice what helps and what does not.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and longer sessions. Phone work can fit around a busy day and needs less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to work on stress, trauma, addiction and relationship concerns while fitting therapy around life.
