About Jeff
Jeff Compton is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people with sleep and rest concerns alongside relationship, family and trauma issues. He has 46 years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. He aims to meet people respectfully and with sensitivity.
Jeff works with people who feel stuck after trying other ways to solve their problems. Common topics he addresses include intimacy difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and parenting stress. He also supports people dealing with eating issues, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
His approach is to tailor conversations and a plan to each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and conversational, focusing on clear steps that can be tried between meetings. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and emotionally focused work.
Jeff also has experience with a wide range of additional concerns. These include adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic pain and comorbidity. He is aware of the challenges people face when behaviour causes harm and has worked with perpetrators of difficult behaviours as well as those harmed by them.
Starting with Jeff involves a straightforward first step to explain what’s happening and what matters to you. He encourages a collaborative pace so people can try new ways of coping and see what fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep-related avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and testing small changes to improve mood and rest. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and patterns that affect close relationships, which can be important when intimacy or attachment affects sleep and wellbeing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps prioritise which methods to use and how fast to move.
