About Jose
Jose Pando welcomes people facing a wide range of struggles, including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and stress linked to life changes. He works with concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting pressures, anger, and LGBT related issues. Jose also focuses on areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing, neurodiversity, and gender dysphoria.
He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Portuguese.
Background and approach
Jose’s manner is warm and interactive. He treats people with respect and sensitivity and believes clients carry many strengths. Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client’s perspective shapes the work and goals.
He tailors the conversation and plan to each person’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol. He uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. These include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
That range lets him offer both practical strategies and space to reflect on deeper patterns. Jose holds BACP, which indicates his registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has five years of experience working in therapeutic roles and supporting people through emotional and life difficulties.
Sessions support international clients as well as people in the UK. Therapy subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Jose works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jose will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try different ways of working until a good fit is found. The aim is a practical plan that reflects what the person needs now and what might help later.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in on difficult days. Some formats use less bandwidth or offer shorter check-ins if that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals adapt approaches so therapy remains useful when delivered remotely.
