Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to each person's circumstances and goals. Jose uses a blend of approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all model. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
He uses client-centred methods to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help when emotions feel overwhelming or hard to name. In practice he aims for a calm, respectful space where people can speak openly.
Sessions focus on building understanding, noticing patterns, and trying new ways of coping. Homework or short exercises may be suggested between meetings when useful. People choose him for clear, practical work that is tailored to their needs.
He emphasises collaboration and helps clients set realistic steps toward change. Starting therapy is presented as a process that unfolds at the client’s pace.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Jose often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses; this can help when trust, abandonment fears or repeating patterns cause distress. He also works in a Client-Centred way, putting the person’s experience first and following their pace to build clarity and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when strong emotions are central, helping name feelings and reshape patterns between the person and others.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. He will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and practicalities guide the plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief updates, journalling-style reflection, or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and allow therapy to fit around work, family or travel.
