Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist and performance coach who focuses on helping men build confidence, clarity and practical skills. He introduces conversations that aim to make decision-making easier and helps people prepare for future challenges rather than only reacting to crisis moments. Jack holds NCPS and a Level 5 advanced diploma with distinction, and brings five years in his current professional role plus prior experience working with young people.

He prefers a straightforward, results-oriented style. Sessions start with understanding what brought someone in and then move on to practical strategies the person can try. Jack uses listening and reflection alongside action-based tasks so people can test what works for them between sessions.

His clinical toolkit includes client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused ideas, with additional influence from existential and mindfulness approaches. He adapts these methods to fit the person’s goals and the issues they bring, such as anxiety, stress, intimacy-related concerns and relationship problems.

Jack has experience supporting people with a wide range of difficulties including trauma and abuse, mood disorders, self-esteem, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, and ADHD. He also notes focused interests like abandonment, attachment issues, body image and chronic illness concerns.

He offers remote options and has worked in multiple face-to-face settings. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions before an initial assessment so they can agree a clear plan together.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and creating a space where the person sets the pace. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to find their own solutions rather than be told what to do.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical experiments and new routines. It is useful for anxiety, mood management and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and building clearer emotional connection. This approach can help with intimacy-related difficulties and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest what might suit you best. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to maintain continuity when travel or work gets in the way. If you plan to use remote sessions, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what format will be used. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor techniques so practical exercises and check-ins work well across remote appointments.
