Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno, BACP

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno works from an integrative, emotionally focused perspective. He combines short-term dynamic work with mindfulness and experiential methods to help people address intense feelings and make practical changes. He aims to help clients find clarity, reduce suffering, and move forward with more ease.

He trained in therapeutic counselling, completing a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015 accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). He has practised in private settings and completed placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford. Across his career he has logged over 3,000 hours of client work and works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework.

His work often starts by identifying the inner conflicts that feed a presenting problem. Together with each person he sets clear goals and a therapeutic task to guide sessions. He draws on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy ideas while adapting techniques from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, mindfulness, neuroscience-informed methods, and selected cognitive-behavioural tools.

In sessions he encourages fully feeling emotions rather than avoiding them, and he supports clients to break unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. The focus is on practical change and emotional completion so people can feel relief sooner.

Born in Brazil, he has lived in the United Kingdom for over twenty years and works with English and Portuguese speakers. He also supervises other clinicians and continues ongoing training to refine brief, effective ways of working.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Wellington blends Intensive Short-Term Dynamic ideas with attachment and mindfulness-informed methods to create a practical way of working online. Intensive Short-Term Dynamic work focuses on uncovering emotional patterns and addressing the conflicts that keep people stuck; it can help with deep-seated anxiety, trauma reactions and recurring relationship difficulties. Attachment-based and experiential methods concentrate on emotions and core relational patterns, helping people understand how past bonds shape current reactions and intimacy-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and pace. That means discussing whether a more experiential session or a mindfulness-based practice will better suit what someone wants to tackle and adjusting as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups that keep momentum after an in-person meeting. It also lets people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. He will talk through practical arrangements so sessions can be shaped around everyday routines and therapeutic aims.
