Jorge Damasceno, BACP

Jorge Damasceno is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, motivation struggles and depression. He focuses on helping clients build confidence, navigate life changes and develop practical coping skills so they can move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Trained in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and transactional analysis, Jorge combines structured, evidence-informed techniques with a deeper understanding of how patterns of thinking and interpersonal behaviour develop. As an integrative psychotherapist he works collaboratively with each person to tailor the therapeutic approach to their individual goals and circumstances rather than relying on a single method.

Jorge holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership - which reflects his engagement with professional standards in the UK. Fluent in English and Portuguese, he offers a supportive, client-focused environment for exploring issues such as anger, career concerns, communication problems, fatherhood, guilt and shame, life purpose, men’s issues, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, and social anxiety. He aims to empower clients to make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Jorge draws on cognitive behavioural therapy - a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - which can be effective for anxiety, depression, phobias and obsessive patterns. He also uses client-centered therapy, a collaborative style that prioritises the client’s own perspective and strengths to build self-awareness, self-esteem and healthier relationships. When appropriate, existential therapy is used to explore questions about meaning, life purpose and personal responsibility, helping clients facing major life changes or questions about direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jorge works together with each person to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels tailored and collaborative.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These formats make it possible to access ongoing support from registered professionals without needing to travel, helping therapy fit more easily into everyday life while maintaining continuity and momentum.
