Jonathan De Oliveira , BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is an integrative, client-centred therapist practising from Ealing in West London (W5) and offering online appointments. He blends several therapeutic perspectives to adapt each session to the individual, allowing people to work at a pace and in a style that feels most useful for them. By creating a reflective space, he supports exploration of how past experiences, bodily sensations, and current patterns connect, and he helps clients consider practical ways to move forward.

Jonathan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and he works in English and Portuguese. His core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, an approach that frames difficulties as opportunities for personal growth. He also holds a Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy accredited by COSRT and has training in Coaching, which inform his work with relationship and intimacy issues.

He welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship and family matters, grief, LGBT-related concerns, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and other life changes. Jonathan has worked in teaching, mental health support, and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad, and has experience with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.

Regarding psychedelic-assisted approaches, Jonathan notes that psychedelic substances remain illegal in the United Kingdom. He does not provide or facilitate illegal psychedelic-assisted work, but he does offer preparation and integration support for harm reduction and wellbeing following any such experiences, and he does not encourage unregulated or illegal use of these substances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Jonathan draws on an integrative, client-centred framework that centres the person rather than a single method. Psychosynthesis Counselling is a core part of his work - it encourages clients to explore personal patterns and inner resources, using creative and reflective techniques to support growth and meaning-making. He also uses psychosexual therapy skills, trained to COSRT Level 5, to address intimacy, sexual wellbeing, and relationship challenges with sensitivity and specific tools.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jonathan works together with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts the plan as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geography. Jonathan conducts sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose what feels most accessible. This range of options supports continuity of care and makes it easier to engage in regular sessions from different locations while still working with a licensed professional.
