About Jose

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is an integrative counsellor who blends person-centred listening with evidence-based cognitive behavioural techniques to support clients through change and recovery. He draws on a holistic outlook that considers body, mind, emotion and spirit, helping clients explore their inner experience and develop practical strategies for everyday life.

He welcomes people from all backgrounds and faiths, and he frames spirituality as an inward resource rather than an institution. This perspective encourages clients to reconnect with their own intuition and to build greater self-understanding, which can help in both current challenges and future growth.

Pereira aims to guide clients toward living more fully in the present, cultivating compassion, and practicing forgiveness of self and others. He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes adherence to recognised professional standards in counselling practice. His style emphasises warmth, respect and collaborative exploration to support each person’s journey toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive space where a person can explore their own values and sense of self - it is useful for building self-esteem and working through life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for coping with persistent worry or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pereira works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences and circumstances, and he adapts techniques as the relationship and needs evolve.

Online therapy with Pereira is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into a busy life, and access support from the location that works best for the client, while still working with licensed professionals and qualified therapists.
