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 trained to Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling with the CPCAB and has completed placements in NHS surgeries, The Awareness Centre and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford. He has over 3,000 hours of client work experience and works in English and Portuguese.
Wellington draws on intensive short-term dynamic approaches alongside mindfulness and elements of client-centred work. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client and counsellor set clear goals and identify the internal conflicts that feed difficult feelings. He aims for focused work that can produce change in a shorter time frame when possible.
In practice he helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Other areas he supports include substance and behavioural addictions, self-esteem, body image, grief and family problems. He also lists work around attachment, abandonment and commitment issues.
Sessions combine emotion-focused methods with neuroscience-informed techniques and selected cognitive strategies. That can mean noticing emotional patterns, working through stuck feelings and trying out different ways of relating to thoughts and urges. He encourages clients to name what they want to change and to set measurable aims for therapy.
Wellington moved to the UK from Brazil and now lives with his family. His background includes clinical supervision work and a long interest in short-term, outcome-focused interventions. He offers sessions in English and Portuguese and asks people to follow the site booking flow to arrange a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Wellington uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy as core strands in his work. ACT involves noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and choosing actions that match personal values; it is often helpful for anxiety, avoidance and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current intimacy and trust, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and issues linked to abandonment.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Wellington discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to what feels most useful. He works with clients to set clear aims and then adjusts pace and techniques based on progress and feedback.
If you want to use online counselling, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since this profile does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or busy schedules. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and reduce the need to be on camera for the whole session. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to keep therapy manageable within everyday life.
