Jose Veiga, BACP

Jose Veiga is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and a range of relationship and personal issues. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and he accepts international clients.

He practises from an integrative perspective and draws on several therapies to suit each person. In practice he listens to how someone talks about their life and relationships, then uses approaches that help them feel understood and able to make changes. Conversations tend to focus on current problems, emotional patterns, and practical steps to manage distress.

Jose often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships affect today's reactions. He also works in an emotionally-focused way when people bring relationship pain or intimacy concerns. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with stress, anxiety and grounding during difficult moments.

He aims to be straightforward about goals and what work might look like. That can include short-term problem solving, exploring past patterns that keep repeating, or building coping skills for day-to-day life. He will talk through what feels most useful and adjust the approach as work progresses.

People who tend to put others first, struggle with boundaries, or feel drained by close relationships often come for help with codependency and related issues. Jose offers clear, practical conversation and tools to help people recognise patterns and try different ways of relating.
