About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira welcomes people who are looking for practical support with life stressors and emotional pain. He frames work around clear goals and direct conversation, helping people sort out problems like anxiety, depression, addiction and low self‑esteem. Ronnie communicates simply and speaks English and Portuguese, which can help when language matters in expressing how you feel.
He combines several well known counselling approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on noticing what matters to you, learning skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and building routines that steady mood and energy. He draws on mindfulness practices to help with overwhelm and on structured cognitive work for upsetting thoughts.
With eight years of experience and BACP registration, Ronnie has worked with people facing grief, trauma, relationship strain and work stress. He also helps those dealing with eating and sleeping issues, ADHD-related challenges, anger and compulsive behaviours. His practice explicitly includes work on men’s issues and midlife concerns when they come up for individuals.
Sessions take place in the United Kingdom and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions sit within a cancellable subscription model. If English or Portuguese feels more natural, that can be used in sessions.

How Ronnie applies talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take small, practical steps towards it. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a partnership. Ronnie will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. He tailors the mix of strategies so clients learn skills they can use between sessions and build routines that support long‑term change.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people use English or Portuguese depending on their preference. Discuss format and scheduling when you book so sessions match your practical needs and day‑to‑day routine.
