About Jonathan
Jonathan De Oliveira is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and supports people exploring life purpose, grief, intimacy-related matters and multicultural issues. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese, and Jonathan sees clients in person in West London and online.
Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred way of working that adapts to each person's pace. He draws on psychosynthesis counselling and psychosexual practice alongside coaching skills to shape conversations. In a session he often helps people notice how their body, history and relationships connect to current struggles.
People who come with trauma, attachment or shame-related difficulties can expect focused yet straightforward work. He offers preparation and integration support around psychedelic experiences strictly for harm reduction; he does not assist with illegal administration of substances. Jonathan also addresses issues such as kink and alternative sex culture, polyamory and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
His background includes roles in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies, and placements with The Psychosynthesis Trust and a local counselling service. That variety informs how he adapts language and pace to different needs. Sessions can be short-term or ongoing depending on what a person wants to explore.
Jonathan aims to help people think through what matters next after a change in work, relationships or health. He focuses on practical steps and reflective conversation so people can decide what to try next for themselves.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Jonathan commonly draws on psychosynthesis counselling, which helps people map different parts of themselves and link personal values to everyday choices. This approach can be useful for people reassessing career direction, meaning or life purpose. Psychosexual work focuses on understanding intimacy, kink, body image and sexual concerns in practical terms, helping people talk about desires and limits without shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, adjusting the focus as goals and preferences become clearer. He treats the choice of technique as a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online modalities. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or busy week, reduce travel time and allow sessions when meeting in person is impractical. Different ways of meeting can also change the pace of a session - for example a shorter phone check-in can work when time is limited, while video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to help people maintain consistency and make therapy a realistic part of everyday life.
