Jefferson is a counsellor who works with couples, men, and counsellors in professional supervision. His work is grounded in a values-informed, relational approach that supports meaningful and sustainable change by helping clients clarify where they want their lives and relationships to move, and then working practically toward that direction.

A significant focus of Jefferson’s practice is couples counselling. He works with couples experiencing communication breakdown, conflict, trust and intimacy issues, and long-standing relational patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. His couples work draws strongly on the Gottman Method, alongside emotionally focused approaches, helping couples better understand interaction cycles, strengthen emotional connection, and rebuild relational safety. Jefferson works in this space collaboratively alongside his wife, who is an ACA Level 4 member and together they facilitate couples counselling, retreats, and structured courses designed to support lasting relational growth.

Jefferson also has a strong interest in male-focused counselling. He supports men navigating relationship challenges, looking to develop greater emotional awareness, performance pressures, identity development, and compulsive or self-defeating patterns of behaviour.

He has post-qualification training in sex addiction and works regularly with issues such as sexually compulsive behaviours and problematic pornography use. This work is approached through a non-shaming, values-oriented framework that attends to the biological, emotional, relational, societal, and cultural dimensions of a client’s experience, helping them understand the drivers of behaviour and build lives that align with their values and commitments..

His therapeutic style is integrative and pragmatic, focusing on using the right tools for the task at hand. Jefferson’s primary clinical training is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside emotionally focused therapies and evidence-based couples work. He places strong emphasis on pattern recognition, collaborative goal-setting, and practical strategies that clients can apply in everyday life, while remaining attentive to emotional depth and relational context.

Jefferson is bi-vocational and also works as an architect. This background brings a structured, systems-oriented way of thinking into his counselling work, often supporting clients to make sense of complex relational dynamics and move toward clear, workable outcomes.

In addition to client work, Jefferson provides supervision primarily to counsellors. His supervision style is reflective, supportive, and clinically grounded, integrating ethical practice, professional development, and practitioner wellbeing.

At the request of clients, Jefferson is able to sensitively incorporate faith and spiritual considerations into counselling, particularly where these form an important part of a client’s values, relationships, or recovery journey.
