About Jose
Jose Pando is a counsellor who works with people facing money-related stress alongside a wide range of emotional concerns. He supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and grief. He also helps with self-esteem, trauma and challenges linked to identity such as LGBT and gender dysphoria. Jose communicates in English and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom.
He describes a warm, interactive style. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical steps that fit each person’s life. Jose combines conversational listening with structured tools so clients leave with better ways to cope and think about problems.
Jose brings five years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as his credential. He draws on several approaches rather than a single method, tailoring the work to each person’s needs and goals. That tailoring means conversations can look different from week to week depending on what helps most.
Typical topics include coping with life changes, stress, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and intimacy-related worries. He also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, neurodiversity, and first responder concerns.
Work with Jose may mix short practical tasks and deeper reflective work about personal history and relationships. He aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while helping them notice the strengths that already exist in their life. If someone wants to explore whether his way of working fits, the first step is a short matching process and a scheduled session.
Approach to online therapy and how it helps
Jose often uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space where people can tell their story and be heard. This approach focuses on the person’s own perspective and helps them identify strengths to build on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of his work and is used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then try practical strategies to change them.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are reviewed as work progresses so the approach can change if something else seems a better fit.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats on the booking page before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or make it simpler to schedule sessions around work. Online sessions also make it possible to work with a therapist across different locations, including international clients, while keeping the focus on practical steps and the conversation needed to make progress.
