Jose Veiga, BACP

Jose Veiga is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with BACP registration and eight years of professional experience. He focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and LGBTQ-related concerns. He offers a respectful and compassionate approach and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.

He practises in an integrative way that draws on several approaches to suit different issues. In early sessions he listens to what matters most and helps set clear, achievable goals. Conversations tend to be straightforward and practical, with space to reflect and notice patterns that affect daily life.

Jose uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and choices. He also draws on client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when stronger emotions and relationship patterns need attention.

Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, eating and body-image difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also attends to related themes like abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness, codependency and ageing and geriatric issues.

Jose works in English and Portuguese and is able to accept international clients. He encourages people to take their time to find a good match and supports practical steps towards clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.

How his approaches work online

Jose draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; this helps when patterns of connection cause repeated distress. He uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience, offering an accepting space where the client’s concerns guide the pace and topics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when intense feelings and relational patterns need gentle mapping and repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jose will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and needs. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and he checks in to make sure the direction still feels useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or longer weekly meetings. It also lets people join from different locations, which can be helpful for those living abroad or with variable schedules.
