Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or low self‑esteem. He works in plain language and helps clients talk through what’s happening, make sense of their feelings, and try practical steps that fit their life. Jonathan is named up front so people know who they would meet.

He uses an integrative, client‑centred style that adapts to each person. Sessions are tailored to pace and need, drawing from different perspectives rather than a single method. That means conversations might focus on how the body and mind connect, patterns in relationships, or how past experiences affect today.

Jonathan trained in Psychosynthesis Counselling and holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy, plus coaching qualifications. He is BACP registered, which is shown here as BACP. He has worked in teaching, mental health support, complementary therapies and with organisations such as The Psychosynthesis Trust and a mental health charity.

He offers support in English and Brazilian Portuguese and accepts international clients. Jonathan can help with issues like trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns, attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, loneliness, life purpose and career questions. He also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination.

Jonathan provides preparation and integration work related to psychedelics for harm reduction only and does not assist with illegal psychedelic‑assisted procedures. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and complete a short questionnaire to match with him.

How Jonathan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jonathan works integratively, drawing on Psychosynthesis Counselling and psychosexual practice when relevant. Psychosynthesis focuses on understanding different parts of a person and finding ways to integrate them; it can help when people feel split between different impulses or life roles. Psychosexual work addresses sexual health, intimacy and body image concerns using practical conversation and exercises to improve awareness and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jonathan will collaboratively explore your goals, history and preferences to decide what to try first. That might mean focusing on relationship patterns one week and on body‑mind exercises the next. He adjusts the plan as you learn what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as reducing travel time and allowing shorter check‑ins when needed. It also supports access for people living outside the therapist’s area and those who prefer working in a familiar setting. The biography states that Jonathan offers online sessions, but please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what format will be used.
