About Jose
Jose Pando is a counsellor who helps people dealing with sleep difficulties alongside other concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and relationship strain. He works with issues like grief, trauma, addictions and self-esteem problems. Sessions are guided by a respectful, warm approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life.
He uses a mix of methods to suit each person's needs. Conversations are practical and interactive, with a focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going. He encourages small, manageable changes and helps people notice strengths they already have.
Jose draws on five years of recent experience and holds BACP credentials with work based in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and Portuguese and is able to work with people internationally. The core aim in early sessions is to agree clear, realistic goals together.
In practice he combines client-centred listening with elements of cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic thinking. He may also use motivational interviewing techniques to support change and trauma-focused ideas when past hurts are central to the issue.
People who come to him can expect straightforward talk, reflection and practical steps to try between sessions. He asks about what matters most to the person and then tailors the plan to fit their situation and aims.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your lived experience. The therapist offers non-judgemental attention and helps you clarify what matters most, which can be useful for issues like low mood, stress and sleep difficulties.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns, often helpful for anxiety, insomnia and mood concerns.
Motivational Interviewing helps people move towards change by exploring their reasons and increasing motivation. It can be useful when habits or addictions are getting in the way of wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest what might fit best. That choice is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online options can reduce travel time and make follow-ups or short check-ins simpler to arrange.
