Background and approach

Jorge has six years of professional experience working with adults on issues such as anger, career decisions and coping with life changes. He also brings attention to concerns like fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and multicultural matters. Phobias, obsessive thoughts and social anxiety are included among his focus areas.

He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as a credential in his profile. Jorge describes his work as integrative, meaning he mixes different methods to suit the individual rather than using a single fixed model. This helps him shape sessions around real-life goals.

People can expect straightforward conversations, practical tools and collaborative goal-setting. Jorge aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients set the pace and decide what matters most to their progress.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them to set their own goals and pace for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, tackle compulsive behaviours and manage mood symptoms.

Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, choice and personal values. It can help when people face life transitions, questions about purpose or deep feelings of dissatisfaction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jorge collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and aims, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses. This collaborative process lets the client steer what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily routines.
