Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers in-person sessions in West London and online. He uses a gentle, client-centred style that aims to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese.

Jonathan holds BACP accreditation which is noted on his professional profile. He draws on an integrative approach, combining different therapeutic perspectives to suit each person's pace. That means sessions can focus on talking things through, noticing patterns, and trying practical steps that might feel useful.

Background and approach

Jonathan pays attention to how the body and mind connect and to cultural identity and diversity in people’s lives. Jonathan has training in Psychosynthesis counselling, an approach that frames difficult experiences as opportunities for personal growth. He also has a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and additional coaching qualifications.

These inform how he supports people with intimacy, sexual wellbeing, and relationship concerns. His background includes roles in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad. He has worked with organisations such as The Psychosynthesis Trust and local counselling services, and with a mental health charity.

Jonathan provides preparation and integration support related to psychedelic experiences purely for harm reduction. He does not provide or encourage the use of illegal psychedelic-assisted practices. Sessions may be short-term or ongoing depending on what feels helpful.

Approaches and what online therapy offers

Jonathan draws on psychosynthesis counselling which looks at challenges as chances for growth; it helps people make sense of inner conflicts and develop a stronger sense of self. Psychosexual therapy is used for intimacy and sexual wellbeing concerns and focuses on practical conversations and strategies to improve sexual relationships and comfort. He also offers coaching-informed techniques that support goal-setting and clearer next steps when coping with life changes.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and try methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the approach as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face style session, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
