About Jack
Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist and performance coach working from the United Kingdom. He focuses on helping adult men regain confidence, clarity and practical control after a crisis or during times of change. Jack combines talking work with practical strategies to help people act on what matters to them.
Jack holds an NCPS credential and brings five years of professional practice to his work. He uses a mix of approaches to suit what each person needs, including somatic-informed ways of noticing the body, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered online and by phone, and he also has experience in face-to-face settings. In sessions Jack aims to create straightforward, goal-focused conversations. He invites people to identify what they want to change and supports them to try small, practical steps.
He will offer observations and tools when useful, while keeping the client’s aims central. Jack tends to work in a behavioural style that encourages action first, with thinking and feeling often shifting afterwards. He pays attention to how the body holds experience and will bring that into conversations when it helps someone make progress.
People who come to him often want clear plans and accountability as well as space to be heard. Jack works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and self-esteem, and he also supports those facing career shifts, grief, addiction-related concerns and changes linked to parenting or caregiving. Sessions aim to be practical and readable for someone on a phone screen.
Jack offers guidance, direct feedback and a steady presence to help people move toward the life they want.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Somatic-informed work pays attention to the body and physical sensations. In an online session this might mean noticing breathing, posture or physical reactions and using simple exercises to track changes that follow from new actions or thinking.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. Online this often looks like steady, reflective conversation where the therapist follows what matters most to the person and helps them find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behaviour. In remote sessions clients can be given clear tasks, experiments and thought records to try between meetings to test what helps in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their goals, preferences and the problems they bring. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
