About Jose

Jose Pando is a counsellor who helps people dealing with anger and related concerns. He supports those facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and major life changes. Jose works in English and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom.

He uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs. Jose treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while encouraging them to use their strengths.

Jose draws on several evidence-informed approaches to inform his work, including client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. He also uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work when these fit a person’s situation. He adapts techniques to the specific problems a person brings to the room.

Sessions focus on practical steps alongside clearer understanding. People often work on recognising patterns, changing unhelpful thoughts and learning ways to manage strong emotions. The therapist aims to help people try new strategies between sessions and notice what improves.

Jose has five years of experience and is a BACP member. He invites people to reflect on their story and take manageable steps toward change. If someone wants to explore anger, relationships, parenting concerns, trauma, or other listed areas, he offers collaborative support to find what helps.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jose uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to structure online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions; it suits anyone needing space to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, practical exercises and longer reflection depending on what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into daily life because it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day and make regular appointments simpler to keep. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities so exercises, homework and progress checks work well in a remote setting.
