Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor, psychotherapist and performance coach who helps men build confidence, competence, and clarity so they can regain or strengthen effective autonomy. He works with adult male clients on a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, depression, ADHD and many practical life challenges. He frames his work around practical outcomes - supporting clients to explore what brings them to therapy, identify realistic goals, and develop steps they can take to move forward.

Jack combines a client-centered orientation with cognitive and emotion-focused methods, offering a space where men can be heard and supported while also being introduced to tools and strategies when helpful. He describes his approach as results-focused and action-oriented, encouraging behavioural changes that often lead to shifts in thinking and emotion. He also offers coaching-style guidance for performance, accountability, and problem-solving alongside therapeutic work.

He holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling credential, and brings five years of clinical experience to his practice. Jack provides both in-person sessions from a private office and remote counselling via video calls, telephone, live chat and text messaging. He primarily works with men and with issues common to male psychology and relationship dynamics, while also supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and international locations. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions prior to an initial assessment to ensure a good fit.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jack integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship in which the therapist reflects and supports the client as they explore their own values and goals - useful for building self-understanding, confidence and decision-making. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression and problematic habits; it is practical and skill-based, helping clients develop strategies for immediate challenges. EFT attends to emotional experience and attachment needs, helping people and couples understand and shift emotional responses that affect relationships and intimacy.

Determining the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jack works with each client to assess needs, preferences and goals, and adapts methods over time so the therapy remains relevant and goal-oriented. Clients take an active role in shaping the work and testing strategies between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging allow clients to access sessions from different locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
