Jose "Ronnie" Pereira

Jose "Ronnie" Pereira offers a calm, down-to-earth space for people who are worried about eating, mood or stress. He welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and body image. Sessions are in English or Portuguese and he works from the United Kingdom. Ronnie holds BACP registration and brings eight years of counselling experience.

He uses a mix of practical therapies to help clients find what works for them. That can mean learning new ways to manage thoughts with cognitive behavioural techniques. It can also mean practising acceptance, noticing sensations, and choosing actions that match your values with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Ronnie places importance on listening first. He aims to help people tune into their own experiences, feelings and inner sense of direction. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and everyday pressures, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

His approach also draws on client-centred and mindfulness methods. These encourage self-compassion, present-moment awareness and gentler self-talk. Clients who struggle with shame, guilt or control issues often work on small, steady steps rather than big quick fixes.

Practical matters are covered up front. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users press the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match your values. It can help when rumination, avoidance or confusion about priorities make daily life hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and relies on listening, empathy and reflecting back what matters to you.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Ronnie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and select tools that fit their situation. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something isn’t helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also makes it possible to practise mindfulness and skill work in the environments where problems happen. Ask about the session formats offered so you can choose what suits your routine and comfort.
