About Jorge
Jorge Damasceno is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, anger and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and his practice is based in the United Kingdom.
Jorge uses a practical, conversational style. He listens to what is causing tension and helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centred ways of keeping the focus on what matters to the person in the room.
He also brings existential questions into therapy, inviting people to look at values, meaning and choices when life feels stuck. Motivational interviewing is used where people need to weigh options and build momentum for change. Psychodynamic ideas can help unpack recurring patterns that fuel anger or low mood.
Jorge has worked with fathers and men on issues such as communication, guilt, forgiveness and life purpose, and with people from multiple cultural backgrounds. He also supports those dealing with obsessions, compulsions and phobias alongside social anxiety.
Practical steps are a feature of his sessions. Clients can expect clear discussion, short exercises and reflection on what helps in everyday life. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's concerns at the centre of sessions. It involves open listening and reflecting back what matters most, which helps clarify feelings around anger and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact; it uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new responses to triggers.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jorge will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods together, checking what feels most useful as therapy progresses. The aim is a collaborative way of deciding whether to lean more on CBT skills, exploratory existential work, or other tools.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow focused short check-ins when needed. They also allow for practical homework, screen-shared worksheets and timed exercises that help apply new strategies between meetings.
