About Jonathan
Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP counsellor based in Ealing, West London, who offers both in-person and online sessions in English and Brazilian Portuguese. He presents a calm, flexible way of working that helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps. Sessions are tailored to each person's pace and priorities, with space to reflect and make small changes over time.
He follows an integrative, client-centred approach that combines different perspectives to suit practical needs. That means conversations can include looking at how thoughts, feelings and the body connect, and finding ways to respond differently to old patterns. He also offers preparation and integration support around psychedelics for harm reduction, and asks people not to request illegal psychedelic-assisted work.
Jonathan’s core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, a model that treats difficulties as opportunities for growth. He also holds a Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy at COSRT Level 5 and a coaching qualification. These inform his work with issues such as relationships, intimacy, self-esteem and identity concerns.
His background includes roles in teaching, mental health support, and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. He has worked with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity, drawing on that experience when tailoring sessions.
People come to him with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and questions around sexuality and culture. He aims to create a respectful space where people can make sense of their experiences and decide on clear next steps.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jonathan blends Psychosynthesis Counselling with psychosexual work and coaching techniques. Psychosynthesis looks at personal growth and how different parts of a person fit together, helping when people feel fragmented or stuck. Psychosexual work focuses on sexual health and intimacy issues, helping people address concerns around desire, boundaries and relationship dynamics. Coaching techniques bring practical steps and goal-setting to conversations, which can help with career changes or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss options together and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try and how to pace the work to meet individual goals.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have ongoing contact from a distance. Different ways of meeting can also suit quieter check-ins or shorter practical sessions when needed.
