About Jonathan
BACP. Three years of experience. Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor based in Ealing, West London, who offers in-person and online work in English and Brazilian Portuguese. He uses an integrative, client-centred style and describes his role as helping people explore what is happening and how they might move forward.
Jonathan helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports work on trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue. He lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, codependency, and multicultural concerns.
His core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, a model he says views difficulties as opportunities for growth. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and a coaching certificate. Jonathan emphasizes moving at a pace that feels right for each person and drawing from different perspectives in session.
He has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. His background includes placements with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services and a mental health charity. Jonathan accepts international clients and notes he offers both short-term and ongoing counselling.
He states he provides preparation and integration support related to psychedelics only for harm reduction and does not support illegal psychedelic-assisted work. People considering sessions are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Psychosynthesis Counselling is a model Jonathan emphasises. It looks at personal challenges as potential areas for growth and involves talking through feelings, aims and inner conflicts to find practical ways forward. This can be useful for identity, midlife or purpose questions and for working through attachment or abandonment concerns.Psychosexual Therapy appears in his qualifications and focuses on sexual health, intimacy and related relationship concerns. That approach uses direct conversation about sexual wellbeing, behaviours and relationship dynamics to address difficulties such as low desire, communication problems and psychosexual challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan says he will discuss options with each person and decide together what techniques or perspectives might fit the client’s needs and goals. The choice is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
Confirm which online session types are currently available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow continuity when someone is away from their local area. It can also make shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations simpler when that suits a client’s needs.
