Jorge Damasceno, BACP

Jorge Damasceno offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He helps with relationship worries, self‑esteem and confidence, plus life changes that leave you unsure what to do next. Jorge writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.

He draws on six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Jorge describes his work as collaborative - he and the client decide together which tools to use. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings as well as the things you want to talk through in the room.

Jorge uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas and client‑centred conversation. He also brings existential and psychodynamic perspectives when they help make sense of patterns and purpose. Motivational interviewing can be part of the work when people want to find momentum for change.

Common topics he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, anger, career decisions and communication problems. He also works on fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, men's concerns, multicultural matters, obsessions and phobias. Sessions aim to be practical, honest and tailored to each person's pace.

Jorge offers therapy in English and Portuguese. He does not take international clients at this time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking.

How Jorge's approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel heard and understood; it suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Existential ideas help when people are questioning purpose or struggling with big life choices by looking at values, meaning and responsibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jorge works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things out and adjusting as needed, rather than committing to one single model from the start.

Confirm the available session formats before you book since the biography does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. They also let people choose a quieter setting, switch to voice only if bandwidth is limited, or schedule a session around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt timings and tools to suit how you live and what you hope to change.
