About Jose
Counsellor (BACP), eight years' experience. Jose "Ronnie" Pereira helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those navigating grief, relationship and family concerns, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and work or career change. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and take place in the United Kingdom.
Ronnie combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and other approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness. He focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions, alongside conversations that clarify values and what matters to the person. This mix aims to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping skills.
His practice pays attention to patterns that keep difficulties going, such as unhelpful thinking, impulsivity, or avoidance. He also works with issues related to addiction, control problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or low purpose. Sessions include talking through recent problems, trying new behaviour experiments, and learning simple mindfulness exercises.
Ronnie places importance on personal meaning and, where relevant, the role of spirituality. He offers an open, nonjudgemental approach for people of different beliefs. The emphasis is on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps that reflect those priorities.

How his approaches fit with online work
Ronnie uses person-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as core methods. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting back what matters to the person, and helping them find their own answers. CBT targets thinking and behaviour patterns with practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce distress.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take committed action in the face of difficult thoughts and feelings. These three approaches can support a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to addiction-related behaviours and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use, such as mindfulness practices, behavioural experiments or values-driven planning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online work to keep therapy accessible while focusing on practical actions between sessions.
