About Jack
Jack English is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He has ten years of experience and works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
He trained with a BA (Hons) degree and practised for a decade before moving into counselling after service in the British Army. That background informs a direct, practical style. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on straightforward ways to work towards those goals.
Jack uses person-centred methods alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. He also draws on trauma-focused work when past events are part of current difficulties. In sessions he aims to keep language plain and interaction practical so people can try ideas between meetings.
He helps people talk through relationship issues, family difficulties, addictions and grief, and supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, parenting strain and career stress. Additional focus areas include communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and first responder issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Jack accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used in online counselling
Jack uses person-centred work to focus on the client’s present concerns and personal goals. This approach centres the session on what the person wants to talk about and aims to let them lead the pace and topics.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try small, practical changes to how they think or act. Solution-focused work is used to identify immediate steps and build on existing strengths to move forward more quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can change as sessions progress and as practical aims become clearer.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to have a short check-in around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use remote sessions to keep contact consistent when meeting in person is difficult.
