About Jose

Jose Veiga works with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns using an integrative counselling approach. He is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

He offers a calm, person-focused style that places the client's concerns at the centre of sessions. He listens for what matters most and uses several established counselling methods to help people understand feelings and patterns. Sessions are shaped around the person's needs and the issues they bring.

Jose uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. These methods can help with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, low self-esteem, and strong emotional reactions. He also works with behaviour linked to addiction, eating and body-image issues, and anger or control struggles.

He has a broad focus that includes ADHD, bipolar-related difficulties, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, domestic violence, and gender dysphoria. He also addresses family problems, abandonment issues, codependency and ageing or geriatric concerns. This range reflects experience with many life challenges rather than a single specialty.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and services are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions, and it can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment-related distress. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help people clarify their own thoughts and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong emotions in order to change relational patterns and respond differently in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Jose will discuss different methods and help decide which fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and will be reviewed together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which are provided. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need sessions that fit around other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to increase practical access to support.
