Testimonials

Does what it says on the tin (aka his website). Jack is straight-talking and will tell you when you are being silly and helps break thought spirals. Each session Jack plants seeds in my head which helps me process and understand my thoughts and feelings. This has given me more mental capacity to be able to consider new things. Jack makes me feel like I can talk about whatever I need to without any judgement. He provides ideas, alternative viewpoints and solutions to anything I talk about. Jack uses knowledge from prior sessions to form suggestions about how and why I might be feeling a certain way, this makes the sessions more person rather than a one size fits all.

Jack is Jack, he listens and understands you, he has real life experience and knowledge, which helps me feel super comfortable and guided, I personally don't like a my therapy to feel clinical and Jack is authentic, gets straight to the point, no sugarcoating, gives good pointers and homework to work with and get on about your day effectively, his knowledge and guidance is helpful, I would recommend if you are looking for someone who is a straight talker and calls it for what is but also understands and targets areas where you can look at things differently, Jack is about mindset, which is great if you are too and don't want to slack he listens and praises your strengths which is motivational for yourself to know you can keep going and ways you can help improve yourself, he is good at what he does, thank you

Jack also helped me navigate obstacles, I'm happier as a result.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

Jack has helped me discover who I am and who I want to become moving forward. I began therapy with him during a time of crisis, when my mental health was spiralling in a bad direction, and his support was invaluable. No matter how big or small the issue, he approaches everything with the same level of professionalism and respect. He is non judgmental, understanding, and direct, but that never takes away from his empathy and care which was exactly what I needed. I couldn’t be more grateful for the impact he has had on my life.

My sessions with Jack English have been brilliant. He’s great at coming up with solution based ideas and has really supported me when I’ve been at my lowest. I’ve always been put off by cringe therapists, but Jack is nothing like that. He’s understanding, caring and speaks to you like a normal person. He helps you actually work through things in a way that makes sense.
I couldn’t recommend him more

Jack has been such an incredible pillar of support during my time of need. His care and advice have helped me in ways I can’t describe. Easy to talk to. He Is a great listener which allowed me to be completely honest in my sessions and work through what I needed to.
Thank you Jack! Kieron

Jack has been an incredible support in my life. He helped me through so many difficult moments, and more importantly – he believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. That kind of support is rare and truly powerful. His calm presence, thoughtful words, and genuine care made me feel seen and understood. I’ll always be grateful for everything he’s done for me. I’m writing this review because he truly deserves recognition for the amazing work he does. Thank you so much, Jack. – Ayman

Jack is an incredible counsellor. Especially for men. Really down to earth, says it how it is. Masters that balance between support but also challenges you in the right ways to create change, growth and healing. Very easy to talk to openly right from the first session.
Highly recommend him - he'll be my go-to for as long as he's working in this field. Keep doing the good work Jack.

Very thought provoking and helpful

I can barely explain how much Jack has helped me. I was in such a dark place for many years, the thoughts I had, the things I did to myself were just wrong. And honestly after having a poor experience with therapy beforehand I did not think I would ever leave that dark place. But here I am, I am doing so good. Jack helped me more than I could ever imagine, the 3 months I spent with him was a journey. He just got me and knew exactly how to help. The best bit was I challenged him, I disagreed with his views but he never gave up on me, eventually showing me the light. I look forward to my next chapter of life, something I haven’t felt in 5 years.

An amazing counselor. I was dealing with very intense emotional distress and even had suicidal ideations but Jack has helped through the path to recovery and looking at things form a new perspective and engage in positive thoughts. He is very attentive and answers as quickly as possible and listens carefully and critically analyzes my case and why I feel the way I do. He is very professional and respects boundaries between counselor and client whilst still being friendly and was there to hear me whenever I needed someone. I highly recommend Jack to anyone especially people dealing with motivation issues, family problems, and cases of addiction. He is also amazing in other aspects but that’s what we focus on. Again I highly recommend.due to him I have performed highly academically , got back to working out, got along better with family and most of all helped with suicidal thoughts or feelings of worthlessness.

I found myself in a place where I felt stuck—10 years single, living the life I had always dreamed of, yet feeling a block I couldn’t identify. From the very start of my sessions with Jack London, I found his approach to be incredibly uplifting. He has a unique ability to gently draw back the curtain on things I didn’t even realize I was hiding, bringing them into the light with compassion and clarity. Through our chats, I rediscovered a sense of self-worth that had been missing for years. Just two months in, I feel like a new person. I’ve even found someone to share my incredible life with, someone who truly aligns with me—something I had almost given up hope on. If you’re feeling stuck and unsure which direction to take, I can’t recommend Jack enough. A few sessions with him have changed my life, and I’m confident they can change yours too.

Very honest, straight talking advice and support. Can’t thank them enough for helping me through the most difficult of times. Everyone needs a Jack in their lives!

Jack’s approach to counselling is utterly unique, his direct yet down to earth mentality creates an environment that is both comforting, and yet completely directed towards addressing and solving the problems I had. In short, Jack will not squeeze 100 sessions out of you, he will get straight to it, and most importantly he will give you the tools and support you need to face adversity and trauma, be it past, present or future. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jack is an outstanding therapist. He's professional, real, and incredibly understanding. His advice has been invaluable and has helped me navigate tough times. I always look forward to our sessions and leave feeling empowered and understood. Highly recommend Jack for anyone seeking compassionate and practical guidance.

I have had a few 3 sessions with Jack now and am feeling considerably better. It feels very safe to talk with him and the response is open, non judgemental and his reflections and advice are constructive . I plan to take it session by session however I can tell that I will need less time in the counselling style he provides than I would in most others. I’m definitely feeling more optimistic and hopeful about my recovery and the future. Go Jack !!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jack, his expertise, non-judgemental and compassionate approach have made a significant impact on my life. From our very first session, Jack's empathetic demeanor and keen listening skills created a safe and welcoming environment. His ability to understand and address my concerns with genuine care was evident throughout our conversations. Jack's approach is both professional and personable. He skillfully balances providing insightful guidance with allowing me the space to explore my thoughts and feelings. He tailored his methods to fit my unique needs, making each session both effective and personal. Jack is incredibly approachable and easy to talk to. His warm personality and non-judgmental attitude make it easy to open up, even about difficult topics. He has a remarkable ability to make complex concepts accessible and relatable, which has greatly enhanced my understanding and growth. Overall, working with Jack has been a transformative experience. His expertise, compassion, and genuine dedication have helped me navigate challenging times and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I highly recommend Jack to anyone seeking a therapist who truly cares about their clients and is committed to making a positive difference in their lives.

Just had my first session with Jack tonight at home. I needed an initial face to face session to get a feel for Jack and to see how comfortable i was disclosing some of my issues to him. The hour session went very quick but was not rushed. Found jack easy to talk to and felt like he was hearing what I was saying. At the end of this initial session I have some simple but good tools to help me on my journey to understand myself better. Look forward to next session and where this will take me. Thanks Jack.

Jack has benefited my mindset in many ways,
he is a great person and has a strong approach and great knowledge.

I really enjoy working with Jack (approx 2 months).
His life experience and direct style is the perfect combo

I started seeing Jack because my girlfriend suggested it, and I was the kind of guy who doesn't believe much in counseling but man I've never been so wrong.After the first session i felt better and i'm sure it's all thanks to Jack and the way he made me feel compfortable talking about myself and the things that i struggle with, he's an amzing counselor with a lot of experience both in counseling and in life, i'll never be able to thank him enough and i'm glad i reached out to him because i never thought i'll be compfortable and able to share so much with someone i just met but that's Jack, so thank you Jack for caring. PS: we always go overtime and it never bothered him I would even say that he's happy to do it and that shows you how much he genuinely cares

I highly recommend Jack. Great and thoughtful counselor who provides actually actionable advice.

Brilliant service, Jack is really down to earth and made us feel at ease from the get go.
I would highly recommend Jack to any couples going through a make or break situation.

Long overdue review: Jack was amazing. Very down to earth and relatable. Helped my husband and myself a lot. I would recommend him xx

I contacted jack roughly about 10 weeks ago. the first words to him were '' I'm in the middle of a shit storm''. Roll on ten weeks and I'm the calmest I've been in years. I'm now looking for new goals brought on by what I have learnt from the sessions with him. The future is looking brighter now, and I have jack to thank for that. when I first seen his video on google search and Instagram,
I was nervous as I thought he was going to be a brute that would have told me to get my head screwed on.
I couldn't have been more wrong!. he listened to me and not once did I feel judged. he really understood me and my situation.
Thank you so much for your knowledge, understanding and patience....you are worth your weight in salt and worth every penny!

Jack is very down to Earth and has helped me immensely in a rather short amount of time.
He conducts himself in a very professional manner (i.e. providing qualifications before beginning sessions) yet at the same time is approachable and understanding.
A unique and valuable service.

Thanks to Jack for making me feel so relaxed . I didn’t know what to expect from counselling . He listened really well and kept referring back to what I had previously said which helped me due to health problems.
I thought the walk and talk session is an excellent idea, not clinical, sitting face to face in a small room which I thought counselling would have been.
He asked the right questions and the flood gates just opened THANK YOU JACK.

U unconventional yet experienced u rem all Ur study and cite many philosophical quotes from renowned authors and yet u have the life experience the common sense and emotional scars to understand that mental issues even from childhood can cause different emotions and effects on the way people think. Yet still understand everyone thinkings and feelings are different regardless of their issues and u are aware of Ur own mental state and issues and use Ur experience as a tool not weakness. That's a real skill for a counsellor.

Jack helped me through a difficult transition period in my life and I can only commend him for his empathy, honesty, wealth of experience and down to earth attitude. I would highly recommend Jack to anyone who is thinking of reaching out to a counsellor for support

My son was going through a very difficult time with his mental health and I was extremely worried about him. I did some research for some private counselling and found Jack. He has changed my sons life, given him some direction and helped him back on his feet.
I would 100% recommend him. If it wasn’t for Jack the outcome could have been completely different. I’m forever grateful.

I was in self destruct mode following failed surgery that would have changed my life. I knew it was very little chance of working. Jack helped me so much to see why I was feeling this way & offered ways I could focus myself and look at it from a different/positive way.
I'm now in a different mental state.
I'm feeling positive and have embraced my lifestyle

I booked my 17yo son into see Jack and was not disappointed. My son ended up opening up to him, started seeing things more positively and made massive progress. Jack helped him so much, I really didn't think he would be able to either as my sons not a talker.
Thanks Jack. 100% recommend , he's a really good guy and very good at his job!

Jack is awesome - direct, crystal clear advise, to the point, brings great comparatives, helps clear the mind. Makes you feel comfortable in the first 5 minutes and then it is smooth flowing - biggest thing he listens intently and analysis is almost real-time.
Thank you Jack for orienting me and my life in the right direction.

Been suffering with PTSD since 2003, I’ve seen Jack before a few years ago which helped however I became worse later on and seen my GP and put into a system designed for soldiers and seen numerous counsellors which made me very uncomfortable and anxious due to being asked stupid questions. Jack has pulled me out of a very very dark hole as I nearly committed suicide for the third time about 5 months ago. I’ve just had my 5th session with Jack and already have the ability to look at things differently and feel a lot more relaxed in an environment I don’t understand and no longer feel suicidal and can see a light at the end of the tunnel, this is thanks to Jack, he has the personal experience, military experience and the qualifications which cuts all the nonsense out with seeing Jack and skips 5 chapters out of the process of rehabilitation. I fully recommend Just Jack Counselling Services to anyone especially soldiers.

Jack is your man if you're struggling with any aspect of mental health. He is the easiest person to talk to and he's straight talking back to you. Very friendly and professional and no where near as scary as he looks! Please if you're struggling get in touch with Just Jack today!

I've always considered myself to be a very strong independent woman, a person who held her family together until it all came crashing down and I couldn't process my thoughts...Jack is not your average precived councillor he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, it's like catching up with a friend everything is so relaxed to the extent I had my counselling sessions in my car as its where I felt most comfortable. Jack helped me to find my way again and put the jigsaw of my life back together again and for that
I can't thank him enough.

Jack offers me a really safe place to talk and open up.
He offers a really good balance between empathy and challenging me when I get locked into those thought spirals.
Really good therapist.

Jack English is a straight talking, no nonsense chap.
He listened to me voice what was going on in my life and helped me to put troubles into perspective.
Setting a practice of focus on life's practicalities has been key to finding balance and grounding.
Thanks Jack !

Jack has been very supportive and met me on my level very quickly.
It's been a huge relief to have him to talk to and to feel listened to and understood

Jack has been so helpful in my time of need, He's a great listener and gives great advice and has really helped shift my perspective on things in my life I am struggling with.
He's friendly, approachable and most of all honest.
Thank you Jack

Jack offers a very grounded, much needed reality check phone call to phone call.
I feel what I say lands on thoughtful ears that aren't simply there to listen but also to help me become a better person.

Got to say the sessions with you were worth their weight in gold and they are still proving useful.
What you do, how you come across, your approach is excellent.
I highly recommend you.

Having written a very positive review in the early months of my counselling experience with Jack, it seems timely somewhere down the line to express how I am continuing to grow, benefit and recover from numerous traumatic experiences.
Jacks warmth, kindness and professionalism creates a space to be open and free when talking. Although work is being done, there is a rare combination around compassion, a light touch and constructive suggestions towards moving forwards.
The work Jack has done with m has been genuinely life changing and although I am still in support,
I am confident that with Jacks help I will continue to grow and get better.

I've recently had counselling from Jack and from my first session being anxious as hell to the final session where I was calm but understanding on how a massive impact Jack made is second to none.
Highly recommended 💯 and I do require more so I'll definitely look at more sessions with Jack.

Jack's a no nonsense guy.
He listens, understands, offers helpful suggestions and is involved in the sessions.

Jack is great,
he has been invaluable to me.

Very easy to talk to, Jack seems very real and a very good listener.
I would highly recommend him for men looking to talk to a man.

Jack is an awesome coach and person, asking the right questions and letting one talk.
He can relate to people and has has a positive attitude.
