About Jeff Compton

Jeff Compton is a UK-licensed therapist with decades of experience supporting people through relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and intimacy concerns. He also works with individuals who have engaged in difficult behaviours, helping them explore the causes and find constructive ways to change. Jeff approaches every person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique circumstances and goals.

Many people arrive in therapy feeling stuck after trying various solutions that have not brought lasting relief. Jeff sees therapy as an opportunity to unpick those patterns, to examine how problems affect both the individual and their close relationships, and to identify alternative, more positive ways forward. He acknowledges that taking the first step requires courage and aims to make the process collaborative and steady. He holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and draws on that background to tailor care that fits each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating to others. It aims to strengthen emotional bonds and improve communication, which is especially useful for relationship and family difficulties, intimacy concerns, and issues rooted in abandonment or attachment disturbances.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships. By helping partners or family members access and express underlying emotions, EFT supports healing after betrayal, trauma, or chronic conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jeff works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time to match what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life. Working with registered professionals remotely can increase access to consistent support and allow people to engage in therapy from wherever they are most comfortable.
