Online counselling isn’t a second-best option — it’s often the best one.

No waiting rooms. No awkward silences surrounded by strangers. Just you, in your own space, getting real about what’s going on.

Most of my clients actually prefer it — they open up quicker, feel more comfortable, and can fit sessions around real life.

Whether you’re at home, on a break, or parked up somewhere quiet — if it matters to you, it matters here.

Another 5⭐ Google review — and this line says it all:

“He speaks to you like a normal person.”

That’s exactly what I aim for. No jargon. No nonsense. Just honest conversation that helps you make sense of what’s going on and move forward.

Today isn’t about politics or opinions.
It’s about remembering.

I served with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers for ten years —Did tours in Northern Ireland, Bosnia with the United Nations and NATO, and Iraq as one of the Desert Rats that liberated Basra.

That was 20 years ago now, but the memories never really leave.

I share this not for recognition, but as a reminder that the effects of service last long after the parades end.

To those still serving, to those we’ve lost, and to those who carry the unseen scars — we remember you.

Lest we forget.

You’re not broken.
You’re human.

Some days are heavier than others — that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re feeling.

Take a moment, breathe, and remind yourself… being human is enough.

Another 5⭐ Google review — real words from real people.

“Jack has been such an incredible pillar of support during my time of need…”

I don’t share these for praise — I share them because they show what counselling can actually do when you find the right fit.

🎃 Happy Halloween!

We all wear masks sometimes — to cope, to fit in, to hide what’s really going on.
Therapy isn’t about forcing those masks off. It’s about creating a space where you don’t need them.
Where you can show up as yourself — raw, real, and unfiltered.

Stay safe tonight, and maybe take a moment to check in with how you’re really doing beneath it all.

💬 World Mental Health Day

Mental health isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.

You don’t have to “have it worse” to deserve help, and you don’t have to hit rock bottom before reaching out.

Counselling isn’t about being broken — it’s about giving yourself space to breathe, understand, and move forward.

Let’s keep normalising conversations about mental health — not just today, but every day.

You can’t always change what’s happened.
You can’t control what other people do.
But you can decide what you do next.

That’s the hard bit — owning your part in how you move forward.
That’s where counselling helps.
Not by fixing life for you, but by helping you find your own way through it.

😱What are you afraid of?

Afraid of being judged?
Afraid of facing the truth?
Afraid of actually changing?

Here’s the reality: you can keep running, distracting yourself, and pretending you’ve got it all under control… but fear won’t fix anything.

Counselling isn’t about weakness — it’s about guts. It’s about sitting down, being honest, and doing the hard work to move forward.

So I’ll ask again: what are you afraid of?

➡️ Book your session today and stop letting fear call the shots.

🔒 Who you talk to matters.

We’re told everywhere to “talk to someone” — and yes, mates can be great for a laugh and support. But here’s the truth: mates aren’t counsellors.

They might not know how to handle what you share. They might see you differently. Sometimes they even pass on what you told them in confidence. And that can do more harm than good.

A counsellor is different. Bound by confidentiality, trained to listen without judgement, and equipped to actually help you work through the tough stuff.

👉 I’ve written a new article on why talking to your mates isn’t always enough, and why choosing who you share with really matters.

Read it here:

We hear it everywhere: “Talk to someone.”It’s a message that’s pushed hard in mental health campaigns, social media posts, and even by well-meaning mates. And on the surface, it’s good advice. Bottling things up rarely helps, and reaching out can feel like a relief.But here’s the catch: ...

🌟 🌟

“Hi Jack, great to meet you and thanks for sharing your experiences too, and for in a way making stuff a lot simpler and clearer, thanks for confronting me with myself! Look forward to speaking again next week, and thanks also for the slight run over very much appreciated.”

Sometimes what people need most isn’t just someone to listen — it’s someone to cut through the noise, be real, and help them face what’s really going on. That’s the work we do together.
