Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a UK-based therapist originally from Brazil who has lived in the country for over two decades and shares his life with a loving family. His interest in human connection inspired a career in therapy, and he finds deep satisfaction in supporting people to uncover their potential.
He gained a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). Since qualifying he has worked in private practice and completed placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford - all in London. Over the course of his practice he has accrued more than 3000 hours of client work.
Wellington is a Clinical Supervisor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), practising in line with their Ethical Framework for the counselling professions. His primary approach is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo, which he adapts to each person’s needs.
He also draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) by Diana Fosha, mindfulness practices, neuroscience-informed techniques, and selected CBT interventions to tailor therapy. Together with each client he identifies internal conflicts that contribute to suffering, clarifies the issues to address, and sets clear goals - what he calls the therapeutic task - with the aim of helping people feel better as efficiently as possible.
Wellington aims to provide a nurturing, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore emotions and thoughts that influence behaviour. He believes emotions have a natural flow and that fully experiencing them rather than avoiding them can bring a sense of completion and transformation, speeding the healing process. He works side by side with clients as equals and continually trains in evidence-based, effective short-term approaches.
With the rise of internet-based care he has found online counselling an effective way to work and supports English or Portuguese speaking clients around the world.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating major life changes, research and practitioner experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as in-person work.
One clear benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from a distance.
Therapists who offer online services are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is desired. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to consistent therapeutic support without sacrificing the quality of the work.
