About Jose
Jose Veiga is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or issues related to gender and sexual identity. He also helps with depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes that feel hard to manage.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on naming emotions, looking at patterns in relationships, and making small changes that shift how people respond to one another. He also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they are helpful.
Jose aims for straightforward sessions that explore what matters most to the person in front of him. He listens for how past experiences shape present feelings and helps people practise different ways of relating. Practical tools and short exercises are offered when they fit the client’s goals.
He works with an especially broad range of concerns, including eating and body image issues, anger, bipolar and ADHD-related coping, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and substance addiction. He can also support people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation, and domestic violence recovery.
Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. International clients are accepted. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How his approaches translate to online work
Jose commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and name powerful feelings and the interaction patterns they create. EFT can be useful for addressing attachment needs and recurring relationship dynamics by focusing on emotion and connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses; it helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance and how those patterns affect wellbeing.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor following the client’s priorities and pace. Together the client and counsellor review what works and adjust the approach as goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the method is chosen to fit the person, their goals, and their preferences.
The biography does not list particular session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making sessions easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities. It can also make it simpler to work with a counsellor from another location, including internationally, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims.
