About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, mood difficulties and life changes. He speaks English and Portuguese and draws on eight years of experience to support individuals through practical conversations and clear strategies.
Ronnie meets people where they are and focuses on helping them make manageable steps forward. He uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy.
Background and approach
These tools are used together to address things like trauma, grief, relationship worries, parenting strain, sleeping and eating problems, and issues linked to identity and mood. Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday life rather than abstract theory. Ronnie places emphasis on self-discovery, tuning into personal values and building skills to cope with difficult feelings.
He works to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of responding, and strengthen self-compassion and forgiveness. The aim is to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional balance. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for ongoing support.
Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some eating problems.
Client-Centred Therapy creates a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and explores their own goals. This helps build self-awareness, self-compassion and clearer decision making.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, preferences and goals and then try methods that fit the person. Sessions are collaborative and can mix approaches as required to meet short-term aims and longer-term change.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
