About Jose
Jose Pando is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and he accepts international clients.
He approaches conversations in a direct, respectful way. He listens for what makes anger feel overwhelming and looks for practical steps people can use between sessions. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural work and motivational interviewing alongside longer-term psychodynamic ideas to help understand patterns.
Jose helps people spot the triggers, small habits, and unhelpful thoughts that feed anger. He also supports work on related issues such as sleep, substance use, self-esteem and intimacy. Together he and the client aim to create simple strategies for calmer responses and clearer communication with others.
Sessions tend to focus on present-day problems while recognising past experiences that shape reactions. He offers straightforward skills practice, reflective conversation and occasional deeper exploration of personal history. He encourages clients to try small experiments in daily life and then discuss what changed in the next session.
People who choose to work with him complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters to them, which can reduce reactive responses and support calmer decision-making.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different responses. It suits people who want concrete skills to manage anger, such as breathing exercises, thought records or behavioural experiments that can be practised between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels difficult or uncertain. It uses short conversations that draw out a person's own reasons for change and can be useful for issues like substance use or repeated patterns of conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's goals, current problems and what feels manageable. That collaborative decision can include mixing short-term skills with deeper exploration when useful.
