Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton works with men to build confidence, competence, and clarity so they can return to or strengthen effective autonomy in their lives. He helps clients explore what brought them to therapy and prepares them to anticipate and manage future challenges, offering both counselling and performance coaching aimed at practical, sustainable change.

He is a counsellor, psychotherapist, mentor, and performance coach who holds the NCPS credential. With five years of clinical experience, Jack focuses on outcomes that matter to each person, combining listening with practical tools and accountability to help clients act on their decisions.

Jack’s practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, family and parenting challenges, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others. He also works with related focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, commitment and control issues, dissociation, and more.

Trained in client-centered methods and cognitive and emotion-focused approaches, Jack typically uses action-oriented techniques that encourage behavioural change, with exploration of thoughts and emotions alongside practical strategies. He offers sessions by video call, telephone, live chat, and in-app messaging, and welcomes questions before an initial assessment. Jack primarily works with adult male clients but has experience with people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, and he accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jack uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the client’s perspective guides the work - the therapist prioritises understanding and supports the individual in finding their own solutions, which is helpful for building self-trust and clarity around personal goals. He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and translate new insights into actionable behaviour changes - this approach is effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on practical skills and habit change. Additionally, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is employed when relationship dynamics and attachment patterns are central concerns; EFT helps people recognise and reshape emotional responses to improve connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jack collaborates with each client to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of listening, practical coaching, and therapeutic exercises as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Jack is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during periods of change. Registered professionals, including Jack, can adapt techniques for remote formats so therapy remains focused and practical.
