Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor based in Ealing, West London, who helps people facing midlife questions, career shifts, relationship strain and emotional overwhelm. He offers a calm space to talk things through and to work out practical next steps. Sessions are available in English and Brazilian Portuguese, and he sees international clients as well.

Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. He mixes approaches to fit each person’s needs, pacing conversations so clients feel comfortable. He invites people to notice how their body and mind connect and to consider how past experiences shape present patterns.

His background includes core training in Psychosynthesis Counselling, which treats difficulties as chances to grow, plus certificates in Psychosexual Therapy at COSRT Level 5 and in Coaching. He has three years of practice experience and has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad.

Typical topics Jonathan helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and midlife crisis concerns. He also supports people with multicultural issues, LGBTQ matters, relationship communication, and sexual or kink-related questions such as BDSM and alternative sex culture.

Jonathan offers preparation and integration support around psychedelic experiences for harm reduction only, and does not assist with illegal psychedelic-assisted work.

How Jonathan’s approaches can work online

Jonathan’s practice draws on Psychosynthesis counselling and psychosexual work to guide conversations about life transitions, relationships and identity. Psychosynthesis focuses on personal growth by helping people identify inner resources and make practical life choices, which can be useful for midlife reassessment and career changes. Psychosexual work addresses sexual health, intimacy and kink-aware topics by creating space to talk openly about desires, boundaries and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jonathan will work collaboratively to test what helps most, adjusting methods as goals evolve and as trust builds. He aims to match technique to the person rather than impose a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow conversations to continue with people living abroad. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking to be sure they suit your needs. The therapist and platform will help arrange scheduling that fits everyday life and commitments.
