About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches to help men explore what matters to them and make practical changes. He brings a warm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people identify what is getting in the way of feeling better. Wellington communicates in English and Portuguese and works from his experience living in the UK and originally coming from Brazil.
He completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). Since then he has worked in private practice and in placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford, London. He reports more than 3,000 hours of client work and nine years of professional experience.
Wellington bases his work on a mix of short-term dynamic and experiential approaches alongside mindfulness and selected cognitive-behavioural techniques. He describes using Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy principles and draws on Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed ideas to help people understand emotions and relationship patterns.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. He aims to identify internal conflicts and set clear therapeutic tasks so people can see change more quickly if that fits their goals. Wellington emphasises experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them, and he helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Wellington uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred work to guide online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking steps that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at emotional patterns that formed in relationships and helps people change how they relate and feel close to others.He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which approach or mix of approaches fits the client’s goals and preferences. The therapist will discuss options and adapt the work over time so it aligns with what the client wants to achieve.
If you are considering online counselling with this therapist, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow a shorter check-in when needed, and offer more flexibility for sessions around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists here, often use online sessions to reach people who otherwise would find regular appointments difficult to attend.
