Jack English , BACP, NCPS

Jack English is a straight-talking person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings practical, down-to-earth support to his work. He served ten years in the British Army, including frontline deployments with the Desert Rats, and that experience helped shape his resilience and commitment to helping others. After leaving the military he trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds a BA (Hons) degree; he is also registered with BACP and NCPS, professional counselling registrations that indicate formal accreditation and commitment to recognised standards of practice.

Across ten years of professional practice he has worked with a wide range of people, from fellow veterans to young people in the care system, focusing on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and challenges tied to life transitions. His approach avoids jargon and judgement - he meets people where they are and supports them to lead the pace and focus of therapy. Jack aims to help clients uncover strengths, build practical coping strategies and regain a sense of agency when life feels overwhelming. He values clear communication, mutual respect and straightforward guidance for those ready to take the next step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem - the therapist offers empathic listening and support while the client sets the pace and direction. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, increasing confidence and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is a practical, structured approach often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related issues.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' strengths and short-term goals to create practical steps forward. It can be especially useful when someone wants focused work on motivation, coping strategies or specific life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. Jack will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to access support - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow people to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options can make regular sessions more accessible and help maintain momentum between appointments.
