JACK WILLIAMSON

ABOUT ME

Jack Williamson is a therapist, coach, international best-selling author, public speaker, and trainer. A former music industry executive, working in marketing and PR for major record labels, Sony and Universal over nearly two decades, across a number of award-winning campaigns from Mariah Carey and George Michael through to Spice Girls and Kanye West, in 2018, Jack made the transition into the area of mental health and well-being.

Jack’s diverse qualifications and skill set allow him to practice in many modalities. He is a BACP (Accred) psychotherapist, an ICF certified coach, AIP certified neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) master practitioner, Gottman Institute certified couples’ therapist, Gestalt group facilitator, EMDR certified trauma specialist, IRI certified recovery specialist and ILM certified L7 Leadership and Management coach.

Jack’s work in the mental health and well-being space has seen him team up with artist Lewis Capaldi to launch LIVELIVE, a mental-health service providing support to both concert goers at shows who may be suffering from anxiety or other mental health-related issues, and touring parties, helping them to navigate life on the road and the stresses and pressures that come with it. LIVELIVE; now known as SHOW SUPPORT, is all about making the concert going experience more inclusive for individuals who suffer with a mental health issue or disability, in the same way that disabled access has made concert going more accessible and inclusive for those with physical disabilities, and touring more sustainable for touring parties, as they navigate life on the road.

In 2021, Jack released his debut book, The Shitty Committee. The self-help book received critical acclaim from a wide variety of publications including The Sun ‘A book full of wisdom.’ and The Sunday Times ‘A must read.’ which saw The Shitty Committee, become an international best-seller in both the UK and US. In September 2024, Jack releases the second book in the Empowered Mindset series, Maybe You’re The Problem.

Through his company Music & You, Jack’s work has seen him become the well-being consultant for a number of organisations, including Warner Music, Movember, and BBC, working strategically with each team to develop, implement, and oversee the running of their well-being programmes. Demand for Jack has seen his work as one of the UK’s leading mental health and well-being professionals expand outside the music industry, into the areas of entertainment, sport, business, politics and education to deliver a variety of talks and workshops.

Jack’s work also sees him regularly invited to both feature and contribute on broadcasts, including BBC Breakfast, ITV News, Sky News and Capital FM and appear in features in The Guardian, The Times and more.

Twice a year, Jack runs Step Into Your Spotlight. A 10 week course that enables solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and people going through periods of transition a space to create a new and more compelling future for themselves and their careers. Alongside this, Jack runs a private wellness retreat once a year, helping provide high net worth individuals and public figures who are struggling with burnout and underlying trauma, a place to process and work through their issues in a relaxing and restorative environment.
