    About Jorge

    Jorge Damasceno is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship problems. He speaks English and Portuguese and aims to support and empower clients through practical conversations and clear goals. Jorge presents himself as approachable and focused on helping people regain confidence and motivation.

    He draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That lets him adjust to what each person needs. Sessions often explore current problems, look at thinking patterns that get in the way, and build small steps towards change.

    Jorge holds BACP registration and has around six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. His background includes work with career concerns, coping with life changes, anger, and a range of specific worries such as obsessive-compulsive tendencies, phobias and social anxiety.

    He also pays attention to issues around fatherhood, men’s concerns, multicultural matters, guilt, shame and forgiveness. That means practical conversations may include how roles, culture or past expectations shape daily life and relationships.

    In sessions Jorge collaborates with people to set understandable goals. Techniques may include looking at unhelpful thinking, exploring personal values, and drawing out motivation for change. He encourages straightforward plans that can fit into busy lives and build progress over time.

  2. Approaches you might try in online sessions

    Jorge often draws on Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change, which can be useful for motivation, career shifts and breaking unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviours, and supports simple practical steps to reduce anxiety and low mood.

    Finding the right blend is part of the work. Jorge aims to work together with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and life situation. He will adapt tools and pace based on what the client prefers and what seems helpful in early sessions.

    Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, keep appointments during relocations, and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or phone-based conversations when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible ways to keep therapy part of everyday life.
