Jose "Ronnie" Pereira, BACP

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and a wide range of life challenges. Ronnie uses conversational, down-to-earth language to help people talk through problems and build practical habits. He sees Thoughts and everyday habits as part of the work and focuses on small changes that add up over time.

Ronnie describes himself as an integrative counsellor who blends person-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and then try manageable alternatives. Sessions tend to focus on awareness, practical coping strategies and clear steps clients can practise between meetings.

He takes a holistic view that connects body, mind, emotion and spirit. That can mean tapping into a person’s values and intuition as part of making choices and setting goals. Ronnie invites reflection on meaning and life purpose alongside concrete tools for daily life.

Ronnie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has eight years of experience and works in the United Kingdom. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese and welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBT.

How Ronnie’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take steps that match those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at daily thoughts and habits and offers specific techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns that maintain problems like low mood or anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ronnie aims to be collaborative, listening to your goals and trying methods that suit your needs. Together you will decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness or a mix feels most helpful and adjust as you go.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins around a break at work or to use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
