About Jorge

How Jorge works

Jorge also helps with relationship strains, career decisions and challenges that come with life changes. In sessions he uses a mix of practical thinking work and person-focused listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.

Client-Centred work puts the person at the heart of the conversation and helps build confidence and motivation. Jorge pays attention to issues that often sit beneath everyday problems, such as guilt, shame, questions of purpose, and cultural background. He also supports people dealing with obsessions, phobias, anger and difficulties with communication.

Fatherhood and men's issues are among the concerns he understands. People who meet Jorge can expect clear goals, collaborative planning and practical exercises between sessions when those are helpful. He tailors each plan to the individual rather than using one standard approach.

The aim is steady progress that fits into everyday life.

Online support options

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and gradually builds confidence through supportive conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how you respond to different ideas, and together you will decide what to try first. Adjustments are made as you go, so the plan stays relevant to your needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face without travel, phone sessions are useful when video is unsuitable, live chat can be a shorter way to check in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on useful, real-world change.
