About Jose
Jose Pando, MBACP, is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, addiction and loss. He also supports individuals facing identity and intimacy issues, trauma or changes related to parenting and ageing.
He uses a straightforward, interactive style that invites clear conversation about thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns and trying practical alternatives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the main approaches he uses alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas.
In practice he mixes short-term strategies with exploration of past experiences when that helps people understand present problems. Motivational Interviewing can be used to address substance use or when someone is unsure about change. Trauma-focused methods are applied when people report past abuse or significant distress related to traumatic events.
Jose works with a broad range of concerns including grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and issues connected to adoption, gender identity and neurodiversity. He offers sessions in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that clients can cancel at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. This initial step helps identify immediate goals and practical next steps for therapy.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jose commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to reduce distress and change habits. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and reflecting so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions.He also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone is weighing up change, for example with substance use or lifestyle shifts. That approach helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation at their own pace. Together these methods allow practical problem-solving alongside space to examine deeper themes when needed.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods based on what the person finds useful. The therapist and client decide together whether to focus on short-term skills, deeper exploration, or a mix of both.
