Jorge Damasceno, BACP

Jorge Damasceno is a UK-licensed psychotherapist who brings six years of clinical experience to his work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and depression. He combines practical therapy skills with a collaborative style aimed at helping people build confidence and navigate life changes at their own pace.

Trained in transactional analysis and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Jorge applies these methods alongside an integrative approach, adapting techniques to fit each person’s needs and goals. Transactional analysis helps explore patterns of behaviour and relationships, while CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and actions. As an integrative practitioner he works together with clients to tailor the therapeutic pathway rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Jorge holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which denotes membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese and practices from the United Kingdom, aiming to empower clients through clear, compassionate guidance and practical strategies for change.

Approaches Jorge uses for effective online therapy

Jorge uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - a practical method often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and specific habits. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to his practice, focusing on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work and confidence and self-esteem issues can be explored. Existential Therapy may be drawn on when clients are facing questions about meaning, life purpose, or navigating significant life transitions, helping people consider values and choices in a thoughtful way.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jorge works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then shapes a tailored plan that may combine elements from different approaches to fit the client’s situation.

Online therapy with Jorge is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes and to access support from home or work with fewer logistical barriers.
