ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Jack Norwood. I’m a psychotherapist and counsellor with a professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling, and accredited training in Executive Coaching Practice (ICF-approved).
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, lost, or uncertain about where they belong. Some grew up without the support or guidance they needed and feel they’ve had to carry life’s challenges on their own.
What they often share is a need for more than a quick fix. They want change that lasts, along with the space to explore themselves at their own pace. My role is to walk alongside you in that process, offering support, insight, and encouragement as you grow into the person you want to be.
- Whole-person approach: I don’t separate “work” from “life". We’ll look at you as a whole person: your relationships, your wellbeing, your career, and your identity.
- Therapy + Coaching integrated: you'll receive the personal insights of psychotherapy, and the practicality of guidance and coaching, where necessary, so you can both understand yourself more deeply and make real changes going forward.
- Open-ended and flexible: Some clients work with me for weeks or months, others for years. There’s no fixed programme, we move at the pace that feels right for you for as little or as long as you need it.
- Support that grows with you: Our work will evolve as you do. Many clients start with one focus, and over time discover space for wider growth, from healing, to rebuilding, to thriving in living life that works for them.
- Pluralistic approach: Pluralistic simply means I don’t stick to a single model of psychotherapy. You may have heard of different therapeutic approaches, but pluralism means focussing on what you need at any given time, because that is the best for you at that time. So I may draw from psychodynamic, CBT, and/or humanistic counselling, and often blending them with coaching techniques. Ultimately, our work is always tailored to you.

I work with people from all walks of life: professionals, parents, partners, and those simply trying to find their way.

Training, qualifications & experience
MY BACKGROUND
I've had a keen interest in anxiety and trauma all of my life. With my grandfather, a WW2 veteran and who suffered from PTSD, I've also had many friends and close family suffer from anxiety, fear and the compounded psychological effects this brings. This experience over the years in observing the struggles of others trying to manage their problem has given me many insights into how anxiety can develop and manifest into more complex issues.
MY EXPERIENCE
After 3 years of training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor with a pluralistic focus, I worked as a private therapist at organisations specialising in anxiety and depression, as well as at a dedicated centre for chronic illness. This has equipped me with the expertise in addressing a wide range of challenges, not only generalised stress, anxiety, the management of chronic illness, and grief and loss but working with these clients to further help them discover purpose, meaning, and their authentic desires in life. Much of the work includes relationship difficulties, identity exploration, self-discovery and life purpose, including helping young men from challenging family backgrounds, those navigating marital and relationship issues, and individuals with low self-esteem, helping them find a positive identity and the confidence to communicate effectively.
Alongside this, I hold accredited training in Executive Coaching Practice (ICF-approved), which allows me to bring coaching into my work. This means I can help clients not only understand the deeper roots of their struggles, but also take practical, structured steps forward in their personal and professional lives. Whether it’s confidence, communication, purpose, or navigating transitions, I support clients to make changes that last.

THERAPY THAT'S MEANINGFUL TO YOU
I keep a personable approach built on empathy and trust, working privately with my clients so you can feel safe, heard and understood. Working with a pluralistic approach means I tailor therapy to you as an individual, drawing from a range of therapeutic traditions depending on your needs at the time.
With the integration of executive coaching, I’m also able to help you turn those insights into action: building confidence, improving relationships and communication, and creating lasting change in both your personal and professional life.
For me, therapy and coaching aren’t about quick fixes. They’re about a steady process of growth that is meaningful to you and helps you live in a way that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
"Real change comes from being understood as you are today, while being supported to grow into the person you want to become." - Carl Rogers
