Jose Veiga, BACP

Jose Veiga is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works in an integrative way and aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect. He tailors sessions to each person’s needs and offers support for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and LGBT concerns.

He helps people deal with day-to-day pressures and bigger life changes in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that is managing anxiety, coping after loss, or navigating identity and relationship questions. He uses plain language and practical conversation to help people feel understood.

Jose draws on a mix of therapy styles to match the person in front of him. This can include talking about attachment and relationship patterns, exploring emotions more deeply, and using mindfulness to manage difficult feelings. He adapts the pace to what each person needs, and keeps the work focused and realistic.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere where they set the goals. Jose helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Work may include reflection on past experiences and hands-on coping strategies for the present.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and he accepts international clients. To begin, people use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Working online with relational and emotion-focused approaches

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and where they began. It helps people understand why they react to stress or intimacy in certain ways and can be useful for trust and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and working with strong emotions during sessions. It aims to help people label feelings, understand what they mean, and respond differently when emotions feel overwhelming. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support while the client sets the pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss different methods and try to match them to the client's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time if what was helpful at first stops fitting the client's situation.

Check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a day job, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose sessions in a language they prefer, such as English or Portuguese. The therapist and client agree together on a way of working that fits everyday life.
