Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno , BACP

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a UK-based therapist originally from Brazil who brings a deep commitment to human connection and personal growth to his practice. He lives in the United Kingdom with his family and draws on personal and professional experience to support people as they uncover their potential and navigate life’s challenges.

Wellington completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), and has since built a private practice informed by a range of clinical placements including The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford, London. He has accumulated more than 3,000 hours of client work and contributes to the profession as a clinical supervisor, sharing his commitment to effective and ethical therapeutic practice.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) he follows their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. His primary training has included Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) as developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo, integrated with Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness-based practices, neuroscience-informed techniques, and selected cognitive behavioral interventions. He tailors these methods to each person’s needs, aiming to identify internal conflicts, clarify therapeutic goals, and define a clear therapeutic task to support meaningful change.

Wellington emphasises an efficient, evidence-informed approach that honours the client’s pace and autonomy. He offers a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore emotions and thought patterns, encouraging full emotional experience as a route to resolution and transformation. He has experience working with English and Portuguese speaking clients across different countries and uses online counselling as one of the ways to make therapy accessible.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy supports them

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand attachment styles, improve intimacy, and address issues such as abandonment, codependency, or communication difficulties in relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy uses present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, sensations, and feelings. It can reduce rumination, help manage stress and anxiety, and support coping with depression, grief, or difficulties with self-image.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that people can explore their values, priorities, and goals. This approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying life direction, and working through emotional blocks.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wellington will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will experiment with different techniques and agree on a plan that feels most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These remote formats offer flexibility in scheduling, the ability to maintain continuity of care during life changes, and multiple ways to communicate so each person can choose how they feel most comfortable engaging with therapy.
