About Jose
Jose Pando is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. He supports those facing addiction, trauma and grief, and works with people experiencing self-esteem, intimacy or parenting challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and international clients are welcome.
Jose uses a warm, interactive style. He focuses on listening first and then shaping the work around what each person needs. Conversations aim to be practical and straightforward, with space to reflect on feelings and daily struggles.
Background and approach
He draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas are all used where they might help. Trauma-focused techniques are employed when people have a history of abuse or overwhelming events.
Jose has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s own knowledge of their life guides the work. Sessions look to build coping skills, improve thinking patterns and deepen self-understanding.
Practical matters are discussed early, including how therapy will fit into day-to-day life. Communication is adapted to each person, and goals are reviewed as progress is made. Jose emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental attitude in every session.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. Sessions include practical exercises and techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to change habits, such as drug or alcohol use, by exploring motivation and building commitment.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the counsellor collaborate to decide which techniques to use and when to review progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone can work where bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel and daily life while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
