About Jorge
Jorge Damasceno is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. He works with adults who are carrying stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, anger, career concerns and life changes. He also helps people dealing with fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
Jorge uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's situation. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to focus on what matters to the individual. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. He also brings in existential and psychodynamic perspectives when these fit the issue being discussed.
In practice Jorge aims to work with each person to find a useful way forward. That may mean short-term practical steps or a longer conversation about values and meaning. He pays attention to communication skills, motivation, compulsive patterns and how past experiences influence current choices.
People meet him to talk about specific symptoms like panic or intrusive thoughts, and about broader concerns such as life purpose or problems saying sorry and seeking forgiveness. He frames sessions as collaborative conversations where goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Jorge’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred work focuses on what matters to the person in front of the screen. It involves listening, reflecting and helping the client clarify goals and priorities. This approach suits people who need space to speak and be heard while deciding what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT often includes practical exercises, thought records and behavioural experiments that can be reviewed between sessions. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, phobias and intrusive thoughts.
Existential therapy brings questions about meaning, responsibility and life choices into the sessions. It can help when someone is rethinking life purpose, career direction or values after a major change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jorge will discuss different methods and agree on an approach together, adjusting it as goals and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps ensure the sessions stay relevant to real life needs.
