About Jonathan
Counsellor and BACP member Jonathan De Oliveira has three years' experience offering therapy in the United Kingdom. He works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression among other concerns. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese and he sees international clients as well as people in the UK.
Jonathan uses an integrative, client-centred way of working. He combines ideas from different approaches so sessions can be paced and shaped to what feels useful. He often explores how the body and mind connect and discusses how past experiences influence current patterns.
He also offers psychosexual support and psychedelic integration work focused on preparation and aftercare only. He asks people not to contact him for illegal psychedelic-assisted facilitation, and he will not guide or organise illicit drug use.
His core background is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, and he holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy plus coaching certificates. Jonathan has worked in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies, and he has experience with The Psychosynthesis Trust and Ealing Abbey Counselling Services.
In sessions he aims to notice recurring themes such as attachment, abandonment, body image and codependency. He can also discuss issues around kink, alternative sex cultures, non-monogamy and multicultural or discrimination-related distress. People often come to him for help with grief, career shifts, anger and midlife questions.
When someone wants to begin, the usual route is to use the online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Jonathan practises Psychosynthesis Counselling, which looks at personal parts and life purpose and offers ways to work with inner conflicts and meaning. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, lacks direction, or wants to understand recurring patterns.He also offers psychosexual support, helping people talk about sexual concerns, intimacy and relationship-related challenges in a practical way. For psychedelic integration he provides preparation and aftercare conversations only, focusing on harm reduction and reflection rather than organising or guiding illegal use.
Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ideas, and agree together what feels most useful for a person's situation and preferences.
Practical benefits of counselling by remote means include fitting sessions around work and family life and easier access for people outside the therapist's local area. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel and make short check-ins or longer appointments easier to manage.
