Jeff Compton, NCPS

Jeff Compton offers help for people facing relationship difficulties, family tension, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and challenges with self-esteem or bipolar mood patterns. His work includes a wide range of additional areas such as attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Jeff brings 46 years of professional experience to his practice. He uses straightforward conversation to understand what has not worked so far and to spot small changes that can make a big difference. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

He uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred methods. That variety lets him match techniques to a person's goals and pace. He aims to listen with respect and sensitivity while offering clear options to try.

People often arrive feeling stuck after trying many solutions. Jeff helps them untangle those patterns and test new ways of behaving and thinking. Work can involve noticing unhelpful habits, trying new communication skills, and exploring emotional responses in manageable steps.

Sessions are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients are accepted. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit both parties.

How Jeff’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and when someone feels stuck in repeated patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then tests simple changes to see what works better in daily life. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional needs and improving attachment and closeness in relationships, which can help with intimacy-related difficulties and persistent conflict.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods that suit those aims. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use non-verbal cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit quicker check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around daily life.
