About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor who combines active, emotionally focused work with practical tools. He uses several approaches to help people make change more quickly. He speaks English and Portuguese and draws on nearly a decade of experience to guide each session.
He trained with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling through the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body in 2015 and has over 3,000 hours of client work. He has worked in a variety of settings including The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford, London. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
His work often focuses on strong emotional work aimed at helping people understand patterns that keep them stuck. He blends approaches such as dynamic therapy, mindfulness, and selected cognitive techniques. Sessions aim to identify internal conflicts, set clear goals, and move toward change efficiently.
Wellington supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, codependency, grief, self-esteem, parenting strains and related issues. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, dissociation and anger among other areas.
He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can name difficult feelings and try out new ways of relating. He prefers a collaborative style - clients set the pace and he helps keep the work focused on what matters most.
Originally from Brazil, he has lived in the United Kingdom for over twenty years and now practises with a focus on short‑term, targeted change.
How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can focus on what matters most. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections, which can help with intimacy and abandonment concerns. Client‑Centered Therapy prioritises the person's experience, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support so clients can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wellington will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as the work unfolds, so the plan is reviewed over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check‑ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or family simpler. The biography does not specify exact session formats here, so confirm the available session options before booking to ensure they meet practical needs.
