About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and a wide range of life challenges. He works in straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel approachable for someone worried or unsure where to begin. Ronnie communicates in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.
He uses a mix of familiar therapeutic methods such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Sessions focus on practical steps and simple skills people can try between meetings. He often brings mindfulness practices and emotion regulation tools into the work.
Ronnie describes his practice as integrative. He pays attention to thoughts, feelings and behaviour while also inviting reflection on personal values and meaning. That can include taking small, clear actions to improve sleep, manage cravings, or steady mood swings.
Clients who want to look at patterns of avoidance, impulsivity or relationship difficulties may find structured conversations helpful. He also supports people coping with grief, career stresses, caregiver strain and identity concerns related to LGBT issues. The overall tone aims to be compassionate and practical.
Ronnie holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. He has eight years of experience working with adults. To begin, readers should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help someone feel heard and clearer about their next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) concentrates on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses concrete exercises and short experiments to test unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that can improve sleep, mood and daily functioning.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It includes mindfulness-style exercises and practical steps for coping with urges, stress or low motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan collaboratively as progress is reviewed.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor homework and short practices so therapy fits into everyday life rather than feeling like an added burden.
