About Jose
Jose Veiga is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and a range of mood and relationship concerns. Jose communicates in English and Portuguese and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He takes an integrative, person-centred approach and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the client, with practical steps offered where useful.
How Jose works
He aims to listen without judgement and to reflect back what is helpful for clarity. Jose often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He also uses emotionally-focused work to help people name and shift painful emotions in close relationships.
Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives may be offered when exploring thoughts, feelings and repeated life patterns. Sessions are tailored around the person’s goals, whether that is reducing panic, managing grief, addressing substance use, or improving self-esteem. He supports people through gender and LGBT concerns and assists those dealing with eating, addiction, anger and identity issues.
Practical coping strategies and short-term goals are commonly part of the work. He accepts international clients and offers therapy in English and Portuguese. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to availability.
Jose emphasises a calm, respectful space where people can talk and make steady change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current ways of relating. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and try new ways of responding in relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name difficult emotions in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect; this is often useful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support practical coping with stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jose will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical coping skills, then moving into emotion-focused or psychodynamic work as trust builds. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and engage in longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps to organise thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
