Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on helping men find clarity and greater confidence. He combines counselling, psychotherapy, mentoring and performance coaching to support people who are facing a crisis or who want to prepare for future challenges. Jack holds an NCPS credential and has a background working with a wide range of concerns related to life, work and relationships.

Jack draws on person-centred ideas alongside cognitive and behavioural methods to keep sessions practical. He listens first, then helps clients identify actions that can make a difference. He offers a blend of discussion, practical tools and accountability to help people put plans into practice.

He has several years of clinical practice and substantial supervised hours working in mental health and youth support before moving into adult counselling. That experience informs how he frames problems and sets achievable goals with clients. Sessions emphasise real-world change rather than abstract theory.

Jack often works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions and grief. He also supports people with sleep, eating and career concerns, parenting questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other matters. He tailors his approach to the person in front of him and their immediate priorities.

He describes his style as direct but respectful, aiming to hold people accountable while offering space to be heard. Jack offers remote counselling and welcomes questions before an initial assessment. International clients may be considered and sessions take place in English.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Jack uses client-centred ideas that prioritise being listened to and understood; this approach focuses on the person’s perspective and helps people notice what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) features alongside this and offers practical ways to test thoughts and try new behaviours, which can be worked on between sessions. Emotionally-focused elements help identify and name feelings and improve how people respond in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. You and the therapist will decide together whether to emphasise conversation, practical homework, or emotion-focused work so sessions match your needs.

The profile indicates Jack has offered remote counselling via online video, telephone and live text chat in the past, but confirm the exact session formats when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use different ways of working, such as screen-sharing worksheets, guided breathing exercises or brief phone coaching between longer sessions, so therapy can slot into everyday life.
