Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor based in Ealing, West London, who offers in-person and online appointments in English and Brazilian Portuguese. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief and questions about identity. Jonathan aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through difficulties at a pace that suits them.

He uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. That means sessions are tailored to each person's needs and rhythm rather than following a fixed formula. Jonathan draws on Psychosynthesis Counselling as a core method and also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and a coaching qualification.

Sessions often focus on connecting body and mind, understanding attachment and abandonment dynamics, and addressing sexual difficulties including kink and alternative sex culture. He also supports people dealing with shame, body image, codependency and issues around sexuality and multicultural identity.

Jonathan has three years' experience in counselling roles and has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. He has provided services with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services and a mental health charity.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jonathan offers short-term work and longer-term therapy, and he helps clients reflect on choices that feel more aligned with their values.

Approach and online therapy options

Jonathan uses Psychosynthesis Counselling and psychosexual work as core strands in his practice. Psychosynthesis focuses on helping people connect inner parts of themselves, recognise strengths, and move towards goals in a practical way. It often helps with life direction, identity and issues that feel bound up with purpose.

Psychosexual support involves talking about sexual wellbeing and difficulties in a non-judgemental way. This work can address intimacy concerns, body image, kink and alternative sex culture, and the lasting effects of shame or past sexual trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jonathan will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the way he works as understanding grows.

His practice offers online appointments alongside in-person work in Ealing, West London. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access therapy from different regions or when face-to-face meetings are difficult to arrange.
