About Jonathan
Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger and related issues such as grief and intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and can be arranged for people based in the UK or internationally.
Jonathan describes an integrative, client-centred way of working that adapts to each person’s pace. He draws from different perspectives so sessions can be tailored to what feels most helpful. He aims to help people notice patterns, understand where responses come from, and consider practical steps forward.
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, complementary therapies and with organisations such as The Psychosynthesis Trust and Ealing Abbey Counselling Services.
Jonathan offers both short-term and ongoing work and provides preparation and integration support linked to psychedelic experiences strictly for harm reduction. He asks that people do not contact him seeking illegal psychedelic-assisted work, and does not support such unregulated activity.
In sessions he may look at how body and mind connect, relationships, cultural and identity issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems around intimacy and sexual culture. He also explores practical coping strategies for career change, compassion fatigue, isolation and life transitions.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jonathan’s core training in Psychosynthesis Counselling focuses on helping people connect different parts of themselves and work with personal values and creativity. This can be useful for people dealing with anger, identity questions, self-esteem and life changes, as it encourages practical reflection and new ways of acting.He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy, which addresses intimacy-related difficulties, sexual culture and psychosexual concerns. That work typically involves talking through experiences, beliefs and behaviours and finding practical steps to improve communication and comfort around intimacy.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Jonathan will discuss goals, preferences and how you want to address issues such as anger or relationship strain, then agree on an approach that fits those aims rather than imposing one method.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also let people use audio-only calls if they prefer less bandwidth or find video tiring. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly offer these practical benefits when working online, and Jonathan will plan sessions to fit everyday life rather than forcing a schedule.
