Jose "Ronnie" Pereira offers a calm, direct approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, low mood, or life changes. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Ronnie speaks English and Portuguese and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Ronnie uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps could help.

Background and approach

He draws on acceptance-based ideas and cognitive strategies to reduce distress and build new habits. Mindfulness practices are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled in by them. Clients can expect a collaborative tone.

Ronnie listens and helps set clear, manageable goals. Therapy can cover practical problems like sleep, work stress, addictions, or parenting strain as well as deeper issues such as trauma, grief, shame, or identity concerns. He also supports people dealing with mood disorders and ADHD-related challenges.

His background includes eight years of counselling experience and a focus on person-centred care. The BACP credential shows professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Ronnie works by matching methods to what each person responds to, rather than using a single fixed model.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Practical matters such as cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and for coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful goals.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens closely and helps clients feel heard, which supports work on self-esteem, grieving, identity and relationship concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Ronnie will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively rather than assumed in advance.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around daily life.
