Jose Veiga

Jose Veiga is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings eight years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and grief. Jose also supports those facing trauma, LGBT issues, addictions and concerns about anger and self-esteem.

He works in an integrative way and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build skills for everyday life.

Jose draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present reactions. Emotionally focused methods help people identify and name strong feelings. Client-centred listening creates space for people to speak without judgement.

He also incorporates mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when helpful, to support self-awareness and calmer responses. Jose explains options clearly and helps people choose what fits their situation. He encourages small, doable changes rather than huge overhauls.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and he accepts international clients. The practice is based in the United Kingdom. People who are unsure about therapy are invited to take the first step and see if the approach feels right for them.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Jose commonly uses attachment-based work and emotion-focused methods to help people understand feelings and relationship patterns. Attachment-based ideas look at how early bonds shape current responses and can help with anger, trust and closeness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name strong emotions so they can be managed more easily.

He also relies on client-centred listening, which means sessions focus on what the person needs in the moment. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and together the client and counsellor will choose what fits the person's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, such as fitting a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to continue consistent sessions when schedules or locations change, with the therapist helping adapt exercises and techniques to work well online.
