About Jose
Jose Veiga is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in English and Portuguese and offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and issues related to LGBT identity.
He uses an integrative style and adapts sessions to what each person needs. That means conversations are shaped around the client’s goals, whether that is coping better day to day or addressing past trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be respectful and sensitive to identity and life experience. Jose draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, emotionally-focused methods and client-centred listening. He also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they suit the person in front of him.
These methods are used to help people understand patterns, manage strong emotions, and find practical steps forward. People might come for help with addictions, eating issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, or coping with major life changes. He also offers support around anger, self-esteem, bipolar experiences, and ADHD-related difficulties.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image and chronic illness. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can be seen.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits them.
How Jose’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and build safer, more trusting ways of relating to themselves and others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centres on identifying and shifting strong emotions in relationships and personal life; delivered remotely it helps people process feelings and try new emotional responses in real time.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the counsellor follows the client's lead. Online sessions can reproduce that listening stance through video or text, letting a person set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and supports. Jose will work collaboratively to find which mix of approaches suits the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and for fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or clients who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and goals.
