Jose "Ronnie" Pereira, BACP

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira is an integrative counsellor who welcomes people ready to explore change and personal growth. He blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients better understand thoughts, emotions and behaviours, and to develop practical steps toward improvement.

He takes a holistic view of healing that considers body, mind, emotion and spirit, guiding clients through a process of self-discovery and renewed identity. Spirituality in his work is presented as a personal connection to inner truth rather than a matter of religion, and he invites people of all beliefs to engage with that side of themselves. He encourages clients to tune into their intuition, to learn to listen to and trust themselves, and to practice compassion and forgiveness toward themselves and others.

He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and approaches each therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey toward greater presence and self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own perspective leads the pace of work - this approach helps when someone needs empathy, clearer self-understanding and validation. He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used when clients want to increase psychological flexibility through values-based action and mindful acceptance of difficult emotions, useful for managing avoidance and finding meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what works best for the individual.

Online therapy with him is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful.
