About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma or life transitions. He offers straightforward support for low mood, self-esteem struggles, relationship worries, grief and work-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and he works with adults in the United Kingdom.
Ronnie uses a blend of talking therapies to meet each person where they are. He draws on client-centred listening to help people feel heard, and blends that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods.
Background and approach
He also uses acceptance-based work to help people live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. In the room he focuses on small, concrete steps. That might mean noticing unhelpful thought patterns, trying a new coping skill between sessions, or practising acceptance and values-based action.
He also pays attention to how stress affects the body and daily routines like sleep and eating. He describes his work as integrative, combining different methods to match a person's needs and goals. He welcomes people of all faiths and none, and invites clients to bring their own beliefs into therapy if that matters to them.
The aim is practical change alongside greater self-understanding. Ronnie has eight years of experience and holds BACP accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He frames progress as a gradual process and works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
If someone wants to begin, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the platform.

Therapy approaches you can use online
Trauma-focused work helps people process distressing events and reduce reactivity to painful memories. It often involves carefully paced talking, grounding techniques and strategies to manage intense emotions so day-to-day life feels easier.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take action that reflects their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief and managing long-term difficulties. Client-centred therapy puts a strong emphasis on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own path to change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjustments are made together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or for people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to access ongoing support around work, caregiving or other commitments.
