Jose Pando helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, stress and low self-esteem. Jose works with issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting strain, and identity concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria.

He speaks English and Portuguese and offers sessions online for people in the United Kingdom and beyond. Jose uses a warm, interactive style that aims to make people feel heard.

Background and approach

He asks clear questions and listens closely before suggesting ways forward. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. His practice brings together several ways of working.

Client-Centred Therapy helps people explore their own goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck about making changes, and Psychodynamic ideas can uncover patterns from earlier life that still matter today.

Jose holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in his credentials. He has around five years of professional experience. That experience includes supporting people through abuse, bereavement, adoption and foster care questions, neurodiversity concerns, and addiction-related work.

Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick what suits them. Therapy is delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the person’s availability.

How Jose’s approaches work in online therapy

Jose combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and strengths and creates space to talk through concerns; it helps with low self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jose works collaboratively to decide what will help most, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. He may use conversational listening, practical exercises, or short homework steps depending on what each person needs.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different rhythms and practical needs when working with a therapist.
