Jack English , BACP, NCPS

Jack English is a straight-talking, person-centred counsellor whose direct, down-to-earth style reflects both professional training and life experience. He trained to a BA (Hons) level and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional recognition and formal training in counselling practice. Before qualifying as a counsellor, he spent 10 years in the British Army, including frontline deployments with the Desert Rats, and those years shaped a practical, resilient approach to helping people navigate difficult moments.

Jack has worked with a wide range of people, from fellow veterans to young people in the care system, and focuses on meeting each person where they are without jargon or judgement. He works in a client-led way - listening, reflecting, and supporting clients to rediscover strengths and choices that may feel out of reach. His straightforward style suits people dealing with issues such as anger, low self-esteem, confidence, or motivation, and he aims to create a space where progress feels realistic and achievable.

Jack respects the courage it takes to seek help and offers steady, practical support as clients work through obstacles and move toward the next chapter of their lives.

Person-Centred and Trauma-Informed Options for Online Therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem - the therapist offers empathetic listening, acceptance, and support so clients can explore their own feelings and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for people working on self-esteem, confidence, and life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured ways to address the impact of traumatic experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce the ways those experiences affect daily functioning. It can be helpful for veterans, survivors of abuse, and anyone carrying the effects of past trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Jack works collaboratively with clients - discussing goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which methods to try and adapting them as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can draw on more than one approach to match what fits best.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and allow consistent, ongoing support without the need to travel.
