Jack English, BACP, NCPS

Jack English is a Person-Centred counsellor (BA Hons) with ten years of professional experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. He also supports those facing addiction, relationship and family problems, trauma and grief.

Jack draws on a straightforward, down-to-earth style. He avoids jargon and lets the person lead the pace of sessions. He describes his role as walking alongside clients rather than directing them. People can expect clear conversation about goals and practical steps to try between meetings.

Before training as a counsellor Jack served in the British Army for ten years, including frontline deployments. That background influences his work - he brings resilience, plain speech and an emphasis on practical coping. He has worked with a wide range of people, including veterans and young people from the care system.

In practice he uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused methods when useful. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of his approach for people coping with traumatic events. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, doable strategies to reduce reactivity and build confidence.

People who come for help with anger will find a therapist who prioritises direct, respectful conversation. Jack helps clients identify triggers, test new responses and practise ways to manage strong feelings. He aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes.
