About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, addictions or life changes. He introduces a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help clients name what feels wrong and work toward clearer next steps. Ronnie speaks English and Portuguese and works from the United Kingdom.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. Sessions focus on building coping skills for anxiety, managing mood swings and addressing addictive patterns.
How Jose works
He also supports people dealing with grief, body image concerns, relationship strain, parenting pressures and work-related stress. Ronnie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred approaches. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioural changes and clarify personal values.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas appear where they suit a client's goals. He describes his practice as integrative and aims for a whole-person view - thoughts, feelings and daily routines are all part of the work. Sessions often include practical exercises, reflective conversation and short homework tasks to try between meetings.
Ronnie has eight years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and respects different belief systems while keeping the focus on each person's own aims. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.
He offers multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and people wanting clearer direction in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behaviour changes. It often helps with mood problems, anxiety and sleep difficulties.
Client-Centred Therapy offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where the counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them explore what matters most. This approach supports self-understanding and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ronnie will discuss different methods with each person and together they will choose what fits the client's needs and goals. He adapts techniques over time as priorities change and as progress becomes clearer.
Online therapy lets people work around busy schedules and varying locations. Video calls are closest to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caring duties or travel commitments, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional progress.
