About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as anger, stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem, and he also supports people facing grief, relationship difficulties and life changes.
Ronnie uses straightforward talking and practical steps in sessions. He draws on person-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Conversations focus on what is happening now, ways to notice unhelpful patterns, and options for small changes that can make days easier.
Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that encourages honest reflection. Ronnie talks through coping skills for strong feelings, and he helps people notice triggers and practise alternative responses. He also works on sleep, routine and communication when these affect mood and anger.
He offers support for issues linked to identity and sexuality, addiction and impulsive behaviour, plus longer-term mood concerns such as bipolar and depression. Ronnie also addresses practical strains like caregiver stress, parenting pressures and work-related frustration.
Sessions include exercises from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment work, along with mindfulness practices to manage reactivity. He explains techniques clearly, then helps people try them in everyday life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session using the online booking flow.
How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed steps that keep life moving forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviours that maintain anger or anxiety and offers practical exercises to test and change them. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try techniques in session, and agree together which methods to keep using. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences guide which tools are used.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, letting people join from different locations, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. The therapist can use practical exercises, mindfulness practice and CBT tasks in online sessions so clients can apply them between meetings and test what helps in everyday life.
