About Jonathan

Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years’ experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT issues, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and he accepts international clients.

Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. He draws on different perspectives and adapts the pace to what feels manageable for each person. In sessions he focuses on listening, helping people notice patterns, and talking through practical ways to move forward.

He presents psychosynthesis counselling as a core part of his background. Psychosynthesis looks at how personal difficulties can be connected to wider life meaning and growth, and Jonathan uses that outlook to help people make sense of their experience. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in psychosexual therapy and a coaching certificate, which inform work on intimacy and life-direction concerns.

His practice includes attention to the connection between body and mind, multicultural experiences, and the effects of trauma across generations. He offers preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences only for harm reduction and does not assist with illegal psychedelic-assisted work.

Before private practice he has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies, and with organisations such as The Psychosynthesis Trust and Ealing Abbey Counselling Services. This background informs a practical, conversational approach to therapy.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jonathan draws on psychosynthesis counselling, which looks at how life challenges can relate to personal meaning and growth; online sessions using this lens help people connect current problems to wider values and aims. He also brings psychosexual therapy knowledge to conversations about intimacy, sexual concerns and relationship patterns, offering practical ways to talk about sensitive topics.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to identify which techniques suit their needs, goals and comfort level, and adapt over time as things change.

The biography states he offers online sessions but does not list specific formats. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or enabling conversations across different locations. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while keeping the focus on practical progress and clear goals.
