About Jose
Jose Veiga is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and eight years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBT matters, recover from trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. Jose aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first session.
He works in an integrative way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. That means conversations can include looking at how early relationships shape current feelings, paying attention to strong emotions in the moment, and using mindfulness to slow down overwhelming thoughts. Practical problem-solving is also part of his approach when that is helpful.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Jose listens for what matters most to the person and then shapes the work around those priorities. He often helps people notice habitual thoughts and everyday patterns that keep stress or low mood going, and then tries small changes to break those cycles.
He supports people facing issues such as addiction, body image concerns, family difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles and challenges linked to identity and gender dysphoria. Jose also works with people dealing with longer-term conditions like bipolar or chronic illness, focusing on coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and Jose offers steady, practical support during that process. He invites people to describe what they hope to change and to try approaches at a pace that feels manageable.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence present feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns that show up in close connections. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions in the room, which can help with intimacy-related fears and relationship distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily responses, useful for stress, anxiety and managing urges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses options with each person and together they decide what to try first, adjusting methods as needs and goals change. This collaborative stance helps ensure the approach fits the person's preferences and life circumstances.
If you are considering online sessions, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations if travel is difficult. Confirm current session formats and scheduling details before you start so you can pick what suits your routine.
