About Jorge

Jorge Damasceno is a counsellor who helps men manage stress, anxiety and low mood. He works with people who are struggling with confidence, motivation or relationship strain. Jorge speaks English and Portuguese and practices in the United Kingdom.

Jorge takes a collaborative approach. He hears what matters to each person and tailors sessions around their goals. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as what comes up in the room.

His background combines cognitive behavioural methods with broader, exploratory work. That means he may use thought and behaviour exercises alongside discussions about meaning, values and life choices. He aims to balance short-term tools with space to reflect on longer term patterns.

Jorge also draws on client-centred ways of working, which put the person's experience at the centre of the session. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to build readiness for change and take practical action.

With six years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - he brings a steady, conversational style. People who want a straightforward, goal-aware approach may find his style useful. To begin, he asks people to describe what they want to change and then works with them to set achievable steps.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Jorge often uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques in his work. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience, offering a listening space where the counsellor follows the person's lead and reflects back what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process. Jorge discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as they learn what helps. That collaborative planning means techniques can change over time to match a person's progress and priorities.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy weeks and removing travel time, which makes regular meetings easier to sustain. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they have limited time or lower bandwidth. Because the exact session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
