About Jorge

Jorge Damasceno offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. He aims to create a space where clients can talk about what matters and start making small practical changes. Jorge speaks English and Portuguese and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

He draws on six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as his credential. Jorge uses a blend of approaches and adapts the work to each person’s needs rather than following a single method rigidly.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings. In conversation he helps people untangle relationship patterns, communication problems and issues connected to fatherhood. He also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, life purpose questions and career stress.

Practical tools are used alongside deeper reflection when that fits the client’s goals. Jorge offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises being heard and understood. He also uses Existential and Psychodynamic ideas where exploring meaning or past patterns is helpful.

Sessions can address obsessions and compulsions, phobias, social anxiety and other specific difficulties in a step-by-step way. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with an emphasis on skills you can apply in daily life. Practical matters such as language, session format and fees are discussed up front so the work fits into each client’s life.

Jorge works collaboratively to set goals and measure progress over time.

Sessions & fees

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person’s experience. It helps people feel understood and supported while they work out their own solutions. In online sessions this approach can make a direct conversation feel calm and focused.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful behaviours. CBT works well over video or phone when clients want practical tools and homework between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jorge will talk through options with clients, try methods that suit their goals, and adjust the work as progress is reviewed. The aim is to agree on a plan that fits a person’s situation and preferences.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people use brief, written exchanges for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity over time.
