Jose "Ronnie" Pereira , BACP

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is an integrative counsellor who combines person-centred and cognitive behavioural methods to guide people through change and healing. He draws on a holistic perspective that attends to body, mind, emotion and spirit, helping individuals explore self-discovery and develop practical skills for everyday life. He welcomes people from all belief systems and frames spirituality as a personal way to access deeper truths rather than a set of religious rules.

Ronnie encourages clients to tune into their own intuition, to practice present-moment awareness and to cultivate self-compassion. He supports work on forgiveness both toward oneself and others as part of long-term wellbeing. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Through a collaborative and respectful relationship, he aims to help people become more grounded in the present and to discover new ways of living that reflect their values and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and long-term patterns that are hard to change.

Client-Centered Therapy, also known as person-centred work, focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of change. This approach supports self-exploration, emotional healing and growth across many concerns including relationship and identity issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured, skills-based tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It can be helpful for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and practical challenges related to daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work over time in partnership with the client.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care across different formats, so clients can choose what feels most accessible and effective for them.
