Background and approach

He aims to create space for people to tell their story and build on their strengths. Jose draws on several approaches to shape sessions. He uses client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the person.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. He also integrates psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Those who come with trauma or abuse concerns may be offered trauma-focused work alongside other methods.

Motivational interviewing may be used when people are tackling addiction or trying to make life changes. He tailors the plan to each person rather than offering a fixed programme. Practical tools, reflective conversation and small experiments between sessions are common parts of the work.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach aimed at clearer coping strategies and steadier day-to-day functioning.

How Jose blends approaches online

Jose uses client-centred therapy to keep the focus on the person’s priorities. That approach involves empathetic listening and working at the client’s pace, which helps when someone needs to make sense of confusing feelings or life events.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes, useful for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls work well for longer, conversational sessions. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let someone send thoughts between sessions or keep in touch when schedules are tight.

These options give flexibility to fit therapy into everyday life, while still allowing practical tools, reflective conversation and agreed exercises to move the work forward.
