Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around the client's priorities and pace so people feel heard and respected. His work draws on several approaches including Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas. Those methods are used to help people spot unhelpful patterns, understand how past experiences affect the present, and try out new ways of coping.
Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused ideas are applied when people need help with change or recovery from difficult events. Jose has five years' experience working in therapeutic roles and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jose draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core ways of working online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own answers, which helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical steps to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as you go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat allows quick check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping a consistent course of support.
