Jack Kirton, NCPS

Jack Kirton is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS with five years of practice since his advanced diploma. He focuses on men's issues and helps people regain confidence, competence and clarity after crises or during transitions. He works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, depression and related concerns.

Jack trained mainly in person-centred ideas and cognitive behavioural methods, and he uses practical tools alongside listening. He aims to help people find their own answers and then put those plans into action. He often uses behavioural steps first, on the basis that action changes thinking and feeling over time.

Before his current practice he worked for a decade with young people on mental health, education and social development. He has over 6,000 hours of supervised clinical practice. He also works as a mentor and performance coach alongside his counselling and psychotherapy work.

Sessions have been offered remotely via online video, telephone and live text chat, and he also meets people in a private office. He welcomes questions ahead of an initial assessment and describes his work as results-focused with practical strategies discussed when useful.

Jack helps people look clearly at difficult realities and decide what matters to them. He supports effort and accountability so people can move toward the life they define for themselves across emotional, social and practical areas.
