About Jack

Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist and performance coach working with adult men to build confidence, competence and clarity. He describes a practical, results-focused style that helps people address immediate crises and prepare for future challenges. Jack holds an NCPS credential and a Level 5 advanced diploma with distinction, and he combines counselling and coaching in his work.

He says he begins by helping clients make sense of why they came to therapy and what they want to change. Jack uses listening and questioning to help people find their own answers. He also offers practical tools and strategies when these are useful, while encouraging people to take action between sessions.

His background includes many hours of supervised practice and prior experience supporting young people with mental health and social development. That earlier work underpins a focus on clear goals and measurable progress in current practice. He notes an emphasis on behavioural approaches that prioritise action as a route to changed thinking and emotion.

Jack reports experience with face-to-face settings and remote counselling, and he works from a private office. He invites questions before an initial assessment so people know what to expect. He also notes he works primarily with adult men and focuses on male psychology and relationship dynamics, while having supported a wide range of issues across different backgrounds.

He aims to help people move toward a realistic vision of who they want to be across physical, emotional, social and belief areas. His style combines practical coaching with therapeutic listening and accountability to support change.

Step 3

How Jack's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It gives space for a person to tell their story and arrive at their own solutions, which can help with confidence and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions link to feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, mood and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the way sessions are run if something is not working.

The profile notes experience in remote counselling alongside face-to-face work, but it does not list every session format. Please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of support if they move or travel, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps and accountability during sessions.
