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.

More about Jack

  • 10 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP, NCPS

Hi, I’m Jack,

I’m a straight-talking person centred counsellor who doesn’t fit the typical mould—and I think that’s what makes me effective. Before becoming a counsellor, I served 10 years in the British Army, including frontline deployments as part of the Desert Rats. Those years shaped who I am today: resilient, down-to-earth, and deeply committed to helping others overcome their struggles.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor with a BA (Hons) degree and over a decade of professional experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. From fellow war veterans dealing with life’s complexities to young people navigating the care system, my approach remains the same: you lead the way, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

I don’t do jargon or judgment—I meet you where you are. Life throws challenges at all of us, and I’ve faced my fair share, which is what inspired me to help others find their strength. Whether it’s anger, self-esteem, confidence, or motivation, together we can work through the obstacles that are holding you back.

You’re the author of your own story, and while life can sometimes make it feel like the pen’s out of your hands, I believe your strengths are still there—sometimes, we just need a bit of guidance to uncover them.

Taking this step takes courage, and I respect you for that. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to help you move forward.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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

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.

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!

Reviewed December 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!
