Move towards a more meaningful life
Seven reasons you might choose this therapy service
I would encourage anyone to speak to different therapists before choosing one. Many therapists, me included, are always happy to respond to email enquiries or to offer free telephone consultations. There is no obligation or expectancy to have to then use my therapy service after this.
I have tried to give an honest account of some reasons you might pick this therapy service below, based on regular feedback and my own reflections.
1. Expertise in Evidence-Based Treatments for Mental Health Disorders
Jack brings extensive experience in using well-researched, effective therapy models to support individuals facing a range of mental health challenges. These include:
-
Depression (various models used depending on the context of the depression)
-
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and all subtypes and variations
-
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
-
Health Anxiety including phobia of death and existential based phobias
-
Phobias and Panic Disorder
-
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
2. Specialism in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
If you are looking for a therapy that emphasises behaviour change, mindful awareness, and self-compassion, ACT may be a great fit. Jack is trained in this modern, evidence-based approach that supports clients in managing the human experience more skilfully, whether or not they have a clinical diagnosis.
3. Integration of Creative and Advanced Therapeutic Strategies
Jack goes beyond traditional methods by incorporating creative and experiential techniques where helpful. This might include:
-
Working with ‘parts’ of the self (e.g., the inner critic or inner child)
-
Compassion-focused methods
-
Tailored exercises based on your goals and emotional needs
-
Processing based methods, including EMDR
4. Active and Engaged Therapeutic Partnership
Jack’s style is collaborative and dynamic. If you're looking for a therapist who brings energy, involvement, and shared responsibility to the process, not just passive listening, this approach is likely to resonate.
5. Empathy, Respect, and Deep Understanding
While it should be a given, Jack emphasises the importance of compassion, validation, and showing up with kindness in every session. Clients can expect a safe space where they feel truly seen and heard.
6. Honest and Courageous Conversations
Jack operates with what he calls a "friendly but no-bullshit" philosophy. He welcomes openness from clients and is equally prepared to gently challenge unhelpful patterns. Expect respectful honesty and mutual accountability.
7. Flexible and Creative Thinking
Rather than rigidly following protocols, Jack offers a flexible, innovative approach. While structure is present in the background, he adapts sessions creatively to ensure they remain aligned with your evolving needs and goals.
