About Jose
Jose Veiga is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has eight years of professional experience and offers support for stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma, grief, and related difficulties. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Jose encourages practical first steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Clients can expect sessions tailored to their needs and life situation. Jose works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches to match what each person needs. He listens for patterns from past relationships and present feelings, and then helps people try different ways of responding. Work may include noticing emotional patterns, practising mindful ways to handle strong feelings, and setting small, achievable goals.
His practice commonly addresses issues such as depression, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and challenges with intimacy and relationships. He also supports people dealing with body image, attachment concerns, chronic illness, and gender dysphoria. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can take between meetings.
Jose speaks English and Portuguese and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. He emphasises a collaborative relationship where the person sets the pace. The aim is to build greater self-understanding and clearer choices for moving forward.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the service's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist's availability.
How Jose's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how past relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for those who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so that the person feels heard and can explore their own solutions. It suits people who want a safe space to think things through. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and working with strong emotions in the room to shift how people relate to themselves and others; it can help with intimacy and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm the formats offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow more flexibility around work or caring commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when needed. Registered and accredited professionals use online sessions to help people maintain continuity of care and put therapeutic strategies into practice in everyday life.
