Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on helping men rebuild confidence and clarity after crises. He uses counselling, psychotherapy and coaching skills to help people identify what brought them to therapy and prepare for future challenges. Jack holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience in clinical practice. Sessions are offered in English and he works with international clients.

Jack takes a direct but respectful approach. He begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of him. He then works with practical tools and clear action steps so people can test changes outside sessions. Accountability and follow-through are part of his method.

His background includes extensive practice with behavioural approaches alongside client-centred and emotional work. That means conversation about feelings sits alongside strategies for changing unhelpful habits and reactions. He aims to help people move toward a realistic vision of who they want to be across emotional, social and practical areas of life.

Jack has prior experience supporting young people and a long record of supervised practice. He describes his work as results-oriented but still rooted in offering space to be heard and understood. He is used to working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief and chronic health challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. It helps people feel heard and explore their own solutions rather than being told what to do. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often suits problems such as anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional responses in relationships and helps people name and shift patterns that get in the way of connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That means sessions may blend listening, practical experiments, emotion-focused conversations and short skill-building tasks that can be practised between meetings.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing smoother scheduling around work or caregiving. If you prefer not to use video there can be alternatives that use less bandwidth or allow a shorter check-in.
