About Jorge
Jorge Damasceno is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. His main concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem and career questions.
Jorge helps people talk through relationship concerns and communication problems. He also supports those facing anger, fatherhood issues, guilt, shame and questions about life purpose. He works directly on practical areas such as social anxiety, phobias, obsessions and compulsions.
His way of working is collaborative. He draws on client‑centred listening to understand what matters to the person in front of him. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and to try out small changes that can make day to day life easier.
He also uses existential ideas to help people weigh values and meaning when big life questions come up, and psychodynamic thinking to look at repeated relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing features when someone needs help finding reasons and routes to change.
Jorge describes his practice as integrative. That means he and the client choose which approach to use together, based on the issue and the person's goals. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and take place in the UK.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters to them, which can be useful when deciding next steps for work or relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small practical changes, which is helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Existential therapy helps people face big questions about purpose and values. It supports weighing options and making decisions when life changes prompt doubt about what comes next.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as issues change over time, and progress is checked together.
