About Jonathan

Jonathan De Oliveira offers short-term or ongoing counselling tailored for people seeking clearer thinking and steadier emotions. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, grief, and men’s wellbeing among other concerns. Sessions are available in English and Brazilian Portuguese, in Ealing, West London and online. Jonathan is BACP registered and frames his work around what feels useful for each person.

He uses an integrative, client-centred style that adapts to the pace the person wants. Sessions focus on noticing what is happening for you, where patterns may have come from, and what practical next steps might be. Jonathan draws on psychosexual work and psychosynthesis principles to look at how body and mind connect. He also offers preparation and integration support around psychedelic experiences for harm reduction purposes only, and will not arrange or encourage illegal psychedelic-assisted work.

Jonathan has three years of professional experience in the UK and abroad. His background includes teaching, mental health support, complementary therapies, The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and training in coaching.

People often come to him for help with identity, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, and communication difficulties. He also supports those facing workplace strain, midlife questions, and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to Jonathan’s schedule. Fees vary with location and session type and use a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches and working online

Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred method that blends Psychosynthesis counselling with psychosexual work and coaching ideas. Psychosynthesis looks at how different parts of a person can be brought into balance and helps people use challenges as opportunities to grow. Psychosexual work focuses on sexual wellbeing, intimacy-related issues and the connection between body and feelings, offering concrete ways to talk about and address those matters.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions as understanding grows. This means techniques and the pace can change as the relationship develops, guided by what the client wants to focus on.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also offer flexible scheduling for people juggling work or family time. As session formats are set by the therapist, please confirm which online options are currently offered before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
