About Jose
Jose Veiga is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss. Jose speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients.
Jose uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies. In sessions he focuses on what the person brings in the moment and builds from there. He pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships.
His way of working is conversational and reflective. He helps people notice patterns in feeling and behaviour. That can include anxiety that shows up in social situations, difficulties with self-esteem, or trouble coping after loss.
Jose also offers therapies that look at emotional bonds and how they affect current relationships. He uses mindfulness practices to help slow down racing thoughts and reduce reactivity. He brings psychodynamic ideas to understand deeper themes that repeat over time.
People come for help with a wide range of issues, including addiction, eating and body image concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD and intimacy-related difficulties. He also addresses attachment issues, abandonment, chronic health challenges and gender dysphoria. Practical steps and short-term goals are part of the work when they fit the person's needs.
To begin, the process involves completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with costs that vary by location.
How his approaches translate to online work
His practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy, plus Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas. Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds shape current ways of relating and helps when relationships feel unstable. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully to what someone says and following their priorities rather than imposing a set plan. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions in the moment to change how they respond in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaboration lets the person test what feels most helpful and adjust the focus over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online ways of meeting can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in when days are busy, or to choose a session format that needs less bandwidth if video is difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will take place.
