Jorge Damasceno, BACP

Jorge Damasceno welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems with self-esteem. He aims to create a straightforward space where individuals can talk through relationship worries, career uncertainty, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese to suit a wider range of clients in the United Kingdom.

Jorge works in a collaborative way. He uses methods that help people make sense of thoughts and feelings, and then try out different ways of coping. Conversations tend to focus on practical steps as well as the personal meaning behind problems. He pays attention to issues like fatherhood, multicultural concerns, guilt, shame, and men's concerns.

Over six years he has built experience supporting people with anger, obsessions and compulsions, phobias, social anxiety, and communication problems. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person. He explains ideas simply so people can try new strategies between sessions.

His background includes work with cognitive behavioural methods and psychodynamic and existential ideas, mixed together when it helps. Motivational interviewing is used to boost direction and commitment when clients are ready to make changes. Jorge describes himself as an integrative psychotherapist who collaborates with the person in front of him.

People can expect a calm professional who focuses on clear goals. He helps clients set realistic steps, talk about setbacks, and celebrate progress. The overall aim is to find what works in daily life and build from there.

Therapy approaches and online access

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and phobias.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jorge will discuss different methods and try options that match a person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the approach can change as things move forward.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow for a fuller conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can fit brief check-ins, day-to-day tracking or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats give flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
