Jonathan De Oliveira , BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is an integrative therapist working from a private practice in Ealing, West London (W5) and online. He blends a client-centred approach with a range of therapeutic perspectives to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, pace, and goals. This flexibility supports people in exploring emotions, understanding patterns, and developing practical ways to move forward while drawing on their own inner resources.

He is BACP registered - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers therapy in English and Portuguese. His core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, an approach that sees life challenges as opportunities for personal growth. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and training in coaching, which inform his work with sexual concerns, relationships, and life transitions.

Jonathan welcomes clients seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, non-monogamous relationships, and multicultural matters. He has experience working in teaching, mental health support, and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad, and has been involved with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.

Jonathan provides preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences for harm reduction purposes only. He does not support or facilitate illegal psychedelic-assisted work and asks that clients do not contact him requesting illicit or unregulated psychedelic treatment.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Ongoing Support

Jonathan works from an integrative, client-centred stance and draws on specific evidence-based approaches to suit different needs. Psychosynthesis Counselling focuses on helping people connect inner resources with practical change - it frames difficulties as opportunities for development and supports work on identity, purpose, and self-awareness, which can be helpful for grief, life transitions, and self-esteem issues.

Psychosexual Therapy addresses sexual health, intimacy, and relationship concerns by exploring physical, emotional, and relational patterns; it can help with psychosexual challenges, communication about desire, and rebuilding connection in partnerships. These approaches are adapted to the online setting so that therapeutic goals remain central whether meeting by video, phone, chat, or messaging.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Jonathan collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their situation, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pathway as work progresses to ensure an appropriate and responsive approach.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit schedules, mobility, and comfort. This range of options makes therapy more accessible and allows consistent support across different life circumstances while preserving the therapeutic relationship between client and licensed professionals.
