About Jonathan
Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He sees people for issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, in person in Ealing, West London, and online.
Jonathan describes an integrative, client-centred way of working that draws from different perspectives. He aims to adapt pace and style to what suits each person, and to help them notice patterns that influence their feelings and actions. Work often involves looking at the connection between body and mind and the role of past experiences.
His core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and a coaching qualification. Those strands are used to inform sessions when relevant to the person’s goals.
Jonathan has experience across teaching, mental health support, and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. He has worked with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.
He welcomes conversations about cultural and diversity issues, LGBT and multicultural concerns, and topics such as BDSM, kink, polyamory and alternative sex culture. He offers preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences for harm reduction, while not providing or encouraging illegal psychedelic-assisted work.
Practical details: sessions can be short-term or ongoing, and international clients are accepted. Fees vary with location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Jonathan’s work draws on Psychosynthesis Counselling, which looks at how different parts of a person relate and how inner conflicts can be understood and worked with. This approach often helps when patterns of anger or shame link back to earlier life events or identity struggles.He also brings psychosexual therapy skills when intimacy, sexual concerns or kink-related issues are part of the difficulty. That work focuses on practical communication, boundaries and understanding sexual response and consent in relationships.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jonathan aims to discuss options with each person and agree a way forward together based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means reviewing what feels helpful and adjusting methods over time.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to access an English- or Portuguese-speaking therapist from outside the local area. Confirm which session formats are being offered before booking so you know how appointments will be run.
