About Jorge
Jorge Damasceno is a counsellor who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. He listens without judgement and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals. Jorge aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
He brings six years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. That background shapes a calm, steady way of working.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by what matters most to the person sitting across from him rather than a rigid formula. Jorge combines several approaches to meet individual needs. He uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and the roots of difficult feelings. Existential themes appear in his work too, helping people think about meaning, responsibility and life choices when they feel stuck. Motivational Interviewing features when someone needs to build motivation for change.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and clear, not lecturing. He supports people dealing with relationship tensions, communication problems and fatherhood concerns, along with issues such as guilt, shame, career stress and social anxiety. Jorge can talk in English or Portuguese, and he adapts his methods to the situation at hand.
When starting therapy he helps people set small, practical steps. The focus is on tools that can be used day to day alongside a deeper look at what’s driving the problem.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing. It supports anyone facing big questions about purpose, direction or identity by encouraging honest reflection and practical decisions.Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said and offers acceptance so people feel able to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and working through emotional pain.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It often helps with anxiety, phobias and low mood by giving clear tools to change thinking and daily habits.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jorge will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods together to see what works best. The plan can shift as needs change and work at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a near-face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day or be used between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work and family life.
