Jack English is an AMAZING warrior who has passed his simple but affective coping strategies onto me. I’ve felt supported. Encouraged. Guided. Now I feel that I can handle whatever life throws at me as I now practice what Jack suggested and can use this formula in every area of my life. Jack has already in a short space of time made such a POWERFUL impact in my life so much so that I carry him with me everywhere I go. I ask what would Jack say or suggest I do? It’s a great resource and one I will return to time and again as it’s so helpful that it has opened up my life experience due to the subsequent positive changes I’ve made in my life after being blessed with hours of Jack English my perfect match. Thank you BetterHelp for putting this great therapist in my path and now there is nothing I’ll find as challenging as I did prior to meeting this awesome wonderment that is Jack English. Thank you for being you and all that you do. I appreciate you.

Hi, I'm Jack,

I am credentialed in the UK with 10 years of professional work experience. I've come from being a British Army, Desert Rat, Front Line War Veteran to becoming a Person Centred counsellor with a BA (Hons) degree.

It's fair to say I'm not your stereotypical counsellor/Therapist, I'm straight talking and passionate about helping people with whatever issue they may be facing, I don't judge people and have had my own challenges to overcome, hence becoming a counsellor/therapist.

I've worked as a Counsellor and as a Support Worker for several charities/companies for several years and have a proven track record. I've had the honour to work with people of all backgrounds ranging from, War Veterans of all ages struggling with an array of issues to young people in the care system.

Whatever the issue, background, gender or age, I'm here for to listen, I'm here for YOU.

I have experience in helping clients with anger management, motivation, mental health, self esteem, and confidence and many other issues. I believe that you are the writer of your own story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started and I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Aug 2024

I have to say I made more progress in one session with Jack than 5 sessions of traditional therapy at my old therapists’ office.

Aug 2024

Jack has really helped me through a tough time, providing clarity and perspective when I needed it most. He's straight-talking but with heaps of empathy and lived experience to go along with it. He provided useful tools, processes and things to think about outside of calls which I've practically adopted. I would definitely recommend Jack.

Aug 2024

Jack has a refreshing straight-talking practical approach mixed with excellent sensitivity and listening skills which speaks of his varied life experience. He's exactly the therapist I needed right now.

Jul 2024

Jack understand each person's needs and know how to advise and encourage accordingly. I feel very comfortable talking to him, it's like speaking to a friend. I would strongly advise his work to anyone.

Jul 2024

Jack is not only knowledgable and listens very well an picks up the signs, I think Jack has been thru the difficulties we normally discuss, adding an aspect of experience to the formula..

Compassionate and Insightful - Highly Recommend Jack English! I have been working with Jack English through BetterHelp for several months now, and I am continually impressed by his exceptional ability to listen and provide insightful feedback. Jack’s unique background as a desert rat has evidently enriched his understanding and empathy, which shine through in every session. He effortlessly blends his past experiences with his therapeutic skills to offer innovative solutions and support. Jack is genuinely dedicated to his clients' well-being, and his approach is both professional and comforting. He encourages open communication and creates a safe space for discussing any topic. His ideas are always forward-thinking and beneficial, helping me to see situations from new perspectives and promoting personal growth. If you're seeking a therapist who truly cares and offers practical, thoughtful guidance, Jack English is an excellent choice. I've experienced significant personal development under his care and cannot recommend him enough!

Jack’s great to talk to

Dec 2023

It’s been my 3rd session with Jack and the effectiveness of the weekly talks with him are increasing significantly. I feel 100% comfortable with him to be my true self. I don’t have to hold back and edit myself for fear of not being accepted. His straight up approach is a breath of fresh air for me! I couldn’t ask for a better therapist at this time. If you are willing to show up, dig deep, go hard and do the inner work on yourself as I am right now, Jack could really help get you to where you want to go. Yes, I have a long way to go, but I’m taking it all step by step and I feel very supported by this awesome human who has also done so much hard work on himself. He’s definitely the real deal and has been a great match for me. Very appreciative!

Dec 2023
