About Jack
Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist and performance coach based in the United Kingdom. He holds NCPS and brings five years of practice working with adults. He focuses on helping people gain clarity, confidence and practical direction when life feels stuck or overwhelming.
Jack places emphasis on listening first. He gives people space to explain what brought them to therapy. After that, he offers straightforward perspectives and practical tools when they are helpful.
Background and approach
The aim is to identify steps clients can take and to support them in following through. His clinical work draws on client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural ideas, with attention to emotions and meaning. Sessions often combine talking through problems, setting small actionable goals, and learning strategies to manage mood, stress or behaviour.
This approach suits people who want both understanding and concrete change. Jack has previous experience working with young people and has logged many hours in supervised clinical practice. He also offers remote sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging for those who prefer not to meet in person.
Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, addiction, parenting and grief. He also supports people facing career changes, chronic health challenges, and difficulties with communication or attachment. Jack aims to help each person move toward their own realistic vision of how they want to live.

How his approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. In practice this means the therapist offers an accepting presence and follows what matters most to the client, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship trouble and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong feelings that affect relationships and intimacy. It aims to create new ways of responding to emotions so interaction patterns change over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That can mean blending listening-led work with practical CBT tools or emotion-focused exercises as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls suit full sessions that mimic face-to-face work, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help people access therapy from different locations and schedules.
