About Jonathan
Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem and codependency concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and he sees both local and international clients.
Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. He draws from different perspectives to find a pace that suits each person. In sessions he helps people notice patterns, understand where they come from, and consider practical steps forward.
His core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling. Psychosynthesis looks at how personal difficulties can connect to wider life meanings and internal parts. Jonathan also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and has training in coaching. These backgrounds inform how he talks about intimacy, sexual concerns and life direction.
He has worked in teaching, mental health support, complementary therapies and with charity settings in the UK and abroad. That experience feeds into work around diversity, multicultural issues and prejudice. Jonathan also offers preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences for harm reduction, and he asks people not to seek illegal psychedelic-assisted work.
Practical arrangements use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jonathan practices Psychosynthesis counselling, which helps people map inner parts and consider how personal difficulties link to wider life meaning. This approach can be useful for work on identity, life purpose and complex emotional patterns.He also brings psychosexual therapy knowledge to conversations about intimacy and sexual concerns, offering focused discussions on relationship dynamics, desire, and sexual well‑being. Coaching skills are used to set practical goals and track small changes between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to test what fits best, adapting methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients are invited to give feedback so the way of working can change over time.
The original biography states he offers online sessions as well as in-person work in Ealing, West London. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic blocks depending on what suits a person’s schedule and energy levels.
