About Wellington

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He trained to Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015 and has completed clinical placements in UK settings, including NHS surgeries and specialist drug and alcohol services. He also records more than 3,000 hours of client work and offers counselling in English and Portuguese.

Wellington uses emotionally focused, attachment-based and mindfulness-informed ways of working alongside short-term dynamic approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and selected cognitive-behavioural techniques when they fit a client's goals. Sessions tend to focus on identifying the internal conflicts that keep someone stuck and clarifying concrete goals for change.

He commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, self-esteem and work-related strain. Additional areas he addresses include codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and problems linked to substance use. He also supports people navigating parenting concerns and fatherhood issues.

In practice he combines experiential and neuroscience-informed methods with mindful exercises and task-focused work. He aims to keep therapy focused and purposeful, often working toward clear short-term goals. Clients are invited to set the pace and to work collaboratively on what they want to change.

Wellington has experience supervising other practitioners and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework. He has worked in both private practice and community settings, and continues to develop his skills through ongoing training.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Wellington draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take small, value-led steps despite difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stuck patterns that keep someone putting others first.

Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused work look at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness. These approaches are aimed at understanding connection strategies, managing fear of abandonment and improving how someone communicates their needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to prioritise. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match what the person wants to change.

The profile states he uses online counselling as part of his practice but does not list specific formats. Please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose whether to use audio or video depending on what feels manageable for that appointment.
