About Jose
Jose "Ronnie" Pereira offers calm, practical support for people facing parenting stress and related challenges. He greets clients with a straightforward, empathetic style. Conversations focus on immediate concerns and simple steps to make life feel more manageable.
Sessions aim to help clients find clarity, reduce overwhelm, and build skills that fit their daily routines. Ronnie uses a mix of approaches including client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural ideas, and mindfulness practices. He favours plain language and short-term goals so people can try changes between sessions.
Background and approach
Work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising small behavioural shifts, and building more compassionate self-talk. His background includes eight years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Ronnie draws on that experience when tailoring plans to each person’s situation.
He welcomes people from different faiths and identities and offers sessions in English and Portuguese. Typical topics include stress, anxiety, managing mood, addiction concerns, grief, and challenges around parenting and family roles. He also helps with self-esteem, sleep problems, career pressure, and coping with major life changes.
Conversations can cover practical strategies and values-based choices to improve day-to-day life. Sessions are available online using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where the client’s perspective leads the work and personal insight grows. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple tools to change patterns that make life harder.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan as needed, keeping sessions practical so people can test what helps between meetings.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, and flexible communication when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments, while still allowing consistent progress.
