About Jose
Jose Pando is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and phobias. He works with addiction, trauma, grief and self-esteem struggles. He also helps with sleep and eating issues, parenting stress and anger.
Jose speaks English and Portuguese and has five years of practice experience listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
Jose aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while working at a pace that suits each individual. Jose mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic ideas. He also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused approaches when they fit the situation.
That means sessions may include reflective talk, practical coping steps and looking at patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are tailored to the person's needs and goals. Jose emphasises strengths and helps people build skills for managing stress, cravings, relationship strain or difficult memories.
He will help set small, practical steps between meetings. People who contact him complete a short matching process and then schedule sessions. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.
International clients are supported, and Jose offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the person's lead to build understanding and coping resources. This is useful for people facing anxiety, relationship strain or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions often include simple exercises and short practical tasks to reduce phobias, worry or low mood. It suits people who want clear tools and homework to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and gentle exploration, then adding practical CBT techniques or motivational interviewing when helpful.
Online work makes therapy more flexible. Video calls let the counsellor see non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and live chat or text can fit a quick check-in or ongoing conversation. These options support people who need appointments outside typical hours, who travel, or who prefer shorter or written exchanges rather than always meeting on camera.
