Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist, mentor and performance coach who focuses on helping men find more confidence, clarity and competence. He introduces practical steps so people can return to or strengthen a sense of effective autonomy. Jack’s work aims to help with immediate crises and to prepare for challenges ahead.

He trained at level 5, completing an advanced diploma with distinction and holds NCPS. That background sits alongside many hours of supervised clinical practice and previous work with young people on mental health and social development. Jack uses a mix of person-centred ideas, cognitive techniques and emotional regulation methods when these suit the client.

Sessions tend to be results-focused and straightforward. He starts by helping a person identify what matters most to them. Then they discuss practical tools and steps the client can try between sessions. The therapist also offers space to be heard and understood.

Jack commonly encourages behavioural work - taking action first so thinking and feeling can follow. He will share his perspective when it supports progress, while keeping the client’s goals central. He aims to hold people accountable for the plans they set.

His areas include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, self-esteem, parenting strains, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also lists a wide range of focused topics such as attachment, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Jack works primarily with adult men and draws on experience with diverse backgrounds and cultures. If someone wants to explore whether he might be a good match they are invited to get in touch and ask questions before an initial assessment.

Approaches you might find helpful online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It gives people space to talk about what matters most and helps them gain clarity by being heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical tasks to change unhelpful cycles; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with core emotions in the context of relationships and attachment issues, supporting greater emotional connection and stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means sessions can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Check the available session options before booking as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by cutting commute time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also lets people continue work when geography would otherwise make regular appointments difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so practical, action-focused work continues between meetings.
