Jose Pando, BACP

Jose Pando is a counsellor who helps people facing a wide range of concerns. He works with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy challenges, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns linked to ageing and geriatric issues. He also supports people with self‑esteem, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, and LGBT related matters.

Jose uses a warm, interactive style in sessions and treats people with respect and sensitivity. He focuses on listening and on helping people find their own strengths. Conversation is tailored to each person so practical steps can be tried between meetings.

He draws on client‑centred ways of working alongside cognitive and psychodynamic approaches. That means sessions combine listening, looking at how thoughts and behaviours affect feelings, and reflecting on past patterns that still matter today. Motivational interviewing is used when people want support to change habits like substance use.

Jose has five years of experience working as a therapist and holds BACP accreditation. He works in the United Kingdom and offers help in English and Portuguese. International clients are accepted.

Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits their needs. The practical aim is to make therapy fit into daily life while focusing on the issues that matter most.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Jose commonly combines client centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers; it suits people who want a supportive conversation and space to reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, behaviours and feelings and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jose will discuss your needs and goals and together you will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted over time if they don’t fit.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily around daily life, reduce travel, or make short check‑ins simpler. Online sessions also allow for flexible scheduling and can make it easier to continue support during life changes.
