About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar and other mood disorders. He also lists life purpose, ADHD and compassion fatigue among his areas of focus.
Ronnie uses a blend of talking approaches rather than a single method. He draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. In sessions he aims to help people notice what matters to them and test practical steps they can try between meetings.
He often supports people who feel stuck after big changes - for example shifts in work, relationships or health. Conversations look at thoughts and behaviours, emotion regulation skills, and ways to reconnect with personal values. Practical tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy may be introduced when they fit the topic.
Ronnie speaks English and Portuguese. He welcomes people of any belief system and says spirituality can be part of self-understanding if the client wants it. For pricing, he uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and session cost varies with location.

Therapeutic approaches used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and try small, meaningful actions even when hard thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for life purpose questions, anxiety and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and eating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises open listening and the client's own pace, giving space for people to reflect and make decisions about what matters next.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment can shift over time as priorities change and new practical steps are tried.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, care duties or health needs, shorten check-ins, avoid travel, or allow quieter surroundings when concentration is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss how to arrange length and frequency of sessions so they fit everyday life without adding extra complexity.
