About Jose
Jose keeps sessions warm and interactive. He listens first and helps people name the problems they want to tackle. Conversations are respectful and grounded in real-life goals rather than jargon. He aims to build practical steps clients can use between sessions.
His background includes five years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs instead of using a single formula. This flexible way of working helps when difficulties change over time.
Typical work might include looking at thought patterns that keep problems going, exploring past experiences that affect present choices, and using motivational techniques to help people find momentum. Sessions also focus on coping skills for day-to-day life and clearer communication when relationships are under strain.
Jose speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own goals at the centre. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers, which can suit a wide range of emotional and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns in everyday life.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation for change. It can help when someone feels stuck or when issues like addiction make change difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide what fits best given their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you plan to meet remotely, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent while managing everyday commitments.
