About Jose
Jose Pando is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. He works with adults facing relationship stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life changes. He also lists blended family issues among his focus areas and offers support in English and Portuguese.
He uses clear, conversational sessions that encourage the client to speak about what matters most. Conversations are interactive and focused on practical steps as well as exploring background and patterns. Jose combines several clinical approaches to suit different concerns rather than relying on a single method.
Clients can expect an emphasis on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. That can help when dealing with grief, trauma, emotional abuse or longstanding relationship problems. For people struggling with addictions, anger, or sexual identity questions, sessions aim to make those issues easier to talk through and manage.
In blended-household situations he helps individuals think through co-parenting dynamics, loyalty conflicts and changing household routines. He works on communication strategies and coping techniques you can try between sessions. The focus is on practical ways to reduce friction and improve everyday functioning.
Jose draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas in session. He also uses Motivational Interviewing when people want help changing behaviours. With these methods he balances listening with giving structure and tools to try outside sessions.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is said, which helps people clarify feelings and make decisions. This approach can be useful for relationships, self-esteem and day-to-day stresses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change a behaviour but feels uncertain. It uses short, focused conversations to build motivation and set small, achievable goals, which can support work on addictions or habit change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan with each person based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision means methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
