About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for nine years. He works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and addictions, among other issues. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and he is based in the United Kingdom.
He trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and has worked in a range of settings. These include placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford, London. He has accrued more than 3,000 hours of client work and currently runs a private practice in the UK.
Wellington uses a mix of approaches that includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness practices. He describes focusing on internal conflicts that influence how people feel and behave, then agreeing clear goals and a therapeutic task to address them. Sessions tend to aim for effective change rather than lengthy processes.
In practice he blends short-term dynamic interventions with experiential and mindfulness techniques, and makes selective use of cognitive strategies where helpful. He emphasises noticing and experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them, and uses that process to move towards practical changes in daily life. He also provides clinical supervision to other practitioners.
Wellington lives in the UK and speaks both English and Portuguese. If a person wants to begin, they are asked to use the site matching flow to choose online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Wellington often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take actions that matter to them. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and issues where avoidance is getting in the way.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that began in close relationships and still influence how someone reacts today. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and some forms of trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That conversation is part of the early sessions and can change as work progresses.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as shorter travel time and more flexible scheduling. Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the listing does not specify which formats are offered here. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and experiential work for the online setting so that emotional processing and practical skills work can continue between sessions.
