About Jack

Jack Kirton is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He brings five years of professional practice and uses a blend of talking therapies and coaching to help people gain clarity and confidence. He works mainly with adult men and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more capable in everyday life.

Jack’s background includes substantial clinical hours and earlier work supporting young people’s mental health and development.

Background and approach

He lists NCPS as a credential. His experience spans face-to-face and remote sessions, so he is familiar with different ways of connecting by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. In sessions he aims to listen first and then help people find their own answers.

He offers straightforward feedback and practical strategies when they are helpful. He often encourages small, concrete actions that build change over time. Jack draws on Narrative therapy and Client-Centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

That mix lets him attend to the stories people tell about themselves while also spotting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to change. People who come to Jack often want help with anxiety, stress, relationships, low self-esteem, trauma, addiction or life changes.

He also lists work around grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, caregiving stress, chronic illness and a range of personality and attachment difficulties. Sessions aim to balance being heard with getting practical results. Jack encourages people to try what feels useful and to reflect on what helps them move towards their own goals and definitions of wellbeing.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jack directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Online approaches that fit your life

Jack uses Narrative therapy, Client-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps to separate problems from identity so new chapters can be created. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers rather than being told what to do. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical steps to change how someone feels and acts.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try out ideas and adjust methods to match what the client wants and needs. That collaborative stance means the plan can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style contact matters and non-verbal cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is wanted. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflective journalling between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on the work itself.
