Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno , BACP

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a UK-based counsellor originally from Brazil who has lived in the United Kingdom for more than two decades and lives with his family. A deep interest in human connection led him into therapeutic work, and he finds fulfilment in helping people explore their emotions and uncover their potential.

He earned a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), and he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His clinical experience includes placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford, London, and he has accumulated more than 3,000 hours of client work. He also practices as a clinical supervisor to support ethical and effective therapeutic practice.

His primary therapeutic orientation is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo, which he combines with Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness-informed practices, neuroscience-informed techniques, and selected cognitive behavioral interventions to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He works collaboratively with clients to identify internal conflicts, set clear therapeutic tasks and goals, and aim for meaningful change as efficiently as possible.

He aims to offer a nurturing, non-judgmental space where clients can explore emotions, unravel unhelpful patterns, and build clarity and resilience. He has incorporated online counselling into his practice and works with English- and Portuguese-speaking clients.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills to accept difficult emotions while taking committed action toward a meaningful life. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and persistent avoidance patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating. It supports people working through abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties by strengthening emotional bonds and improving communication.

The therapist approaches finding the right method as a collaborative process. He will work with each client to explore what feels most helpful, aligning techniques with the client’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing a single fixed model.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can adapt their approaches effectively to these formats to support progress and greater accessibility to care.
