About Jonathan

Jonathan De Oliveira helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and grief using an integrative, client-centred approach. He offers sessions in English and Brazilian Portuguese and is BACP registered with three years' experience. Jonathan sees people in Ealing, West London, and online.

He describes his way of working as integrative and client-centred, which means he draws on different therapeutic perspectives and adapts the pace to what feels manageable. Sessions focus on talking things through, noticing patterns, and considering practical steps the person can try between meetings. Jonathan also offers preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences for harm reduction, and he does not facilitate illegal psychedelic-assisted work.

His background includes core training in Psychosynthesis Counselling and certificates in Psychosexual Therapy (COSRT Level 5) and Coaching. He has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad, and has experience with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.

Jonathan pays attention to how culture, race, gender and sexuality can affect people’s experiences. He lists additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, BDSM and kink, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and multicultural concerns.

Sessions can be short-term or ongoing according to the person's needs, and Jonathan accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Jonathan’s practice is rooted in Psychosynthesis Counselling, which looks at challenges as opportunities to understand values and inner resources and can help with life direction, meaning and identity issues. Psychosexual Therapy is used for sexual health and intimacy-related concerns and focuses on practical discussion and exercises to address specific difficulties. He also uses coaching skills to set goals and plan steps between sessions, which can help with career, motivation and practical coping.

Finding the best approach tends to be collaborative. Jonathan will discuss your needs, goals and preferences in early meetings and adapt the methods used as you go along, checking in about what helps and what does not. This means the work can change over time as priorities shift.

Online sessions aim to make counselling fit better with everyday life. They can reduce travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work or family commitments. If you need specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking since the biography confirms online and in-person work but does not list other formats. Many people find online meetings easier to fit into a busy week and useful for regular short check-ins or longer weekly sessions, depending on what suits their needs.
