Jonathan De Oliveira

Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor based in Ealing, West London, who helps people facing anger, stress and relationship strain. He welcomes people dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Brazilian Portuguese and can be short-term or ongoing.

He uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. That means sessions are shaped around each person's pace and needs rather than a set script. Jonathan encourages people to notice what is happening in their bodies and minds and to reflect on where those patterns may come from.

His core background is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, an approach that looks at difficulties as chances to grow. He also holds certificates in Psychosexual Therapy (COSRT Level 5) and in Coaching, which he draws on when those topics are part of the work.

Jonathan has three years' experience working in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. He has provided services with organisations such as The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.

He offers support around a wide range of concerns including anger, compassion fatigue, multicultural issues, attachment and abandonment, body image, kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions. Jonathan also provides preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences for harm-reduction purposes while noting that psychedelic-assisted work remains illegal in the UK.

How Jonathan adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Jonathan's foundation in Psychosynthesis Counselling views difficulties as chances to learn and grow; in practice this involves helping people notice inner conflicts, connect thoughts and feelings, and identify practical next steps to try between sessions. Psychosexual Therapy (COSRT Level 5) contributes focused support for sexual and intimacy concerns, with attention to communication, boundaries and desires. He also uses coaching skills to set goals and track progress when clients want a structured plan.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan aims to find what fits each person's needs and preferences through discussion and trial. He collaborates with clients to adjust pace, methods and focus as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or relocation would otherwise interrupt care. Different formats suit different practical needs, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions reduce commute time and allow quicker check-ins around work or family commitments while still allowing meaningful therapeutic conversation with a registered or accredited professional.
