Jack English , BACP, NCPS

Jack English is a straight-talking person-centred counsellor who brings practical, down-to-earth support to people facing difficult life challenges. He trained to a BA (Hons) level and has built a decade of professional experience, shaped in part by 10 years of service in the British Army including frontline deployments. That background contributes to a resilient, no-nonsense style that many clients find approachable and grounding.

He works alongside people from a wide range of backgrounds, including fellow service personnel and young people who have navigated the care system. Jack emphasises a collaborative relationship where the client leads and he provides guidance, listening without jargon or judgment. His work addresses issues such as anger, low self-esteem, confidence, motivation and the knock-on effects of major life changes.

Jack is registered with professional counselling bodies BACP and NCPS, which reflect his standing in the field. He believes strengths already exist within each person and that therapy can help uncover and build on them. Taking the first step can be daunting, and Jack respects that courage while offering steady support to help clients move forward and regain a sense of control over their lives.

Person-Centred and Practical Therapies Available Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and reconnect with their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develops practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.

Jack approaches therapy as a collaborative process - he will work with each person to find the methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider which approaches to try, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so it remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments, or when travel is difficult. The flexible formats also allow clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists who specialise in practical, outcome-focused care.
