Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno, BACP

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno brings a warm, relational approach to therapy informed by years of clinical experience and training. Originally from Brazil, he has lived in the United Kingdom for more than two decades and lives with his family. His interest in human connection guided him toward counselling, and he finds purpose in supporting people as they discover their strengths and possibilities.

He qualified with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, a vocational qualification accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), and has focused his work in private practice since then. His early placements included The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford, London, and he has completed more than 3,000 hours of client work. He also works as a Clinical Supervisor, sharing his commitment to effective and ethical therapeutic practice.

A member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he follows their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. He integrates Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) with Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness practices, neuroscience-informed techniques, and selected cognitive behavioural interventions to suit each person's needs. He works collaboratively to identify internal conflicts, clarify goals, and set a clear therapeutic task aimed at meaningful change in an efficient timeframe.

He aims to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental space where emotions can be explored and experienced rather than avoided, believing that doing so supports completion and transformation. He encourages clients to set the pace while offering steady, evidence-informed support. He also offers online counselling and works with clients in English and Portuguese.

Blending relational approaches for effective online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build a life guided by valued actions. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to steps that move a person toward meaningful goals, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low motivation.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It helps clients understand how attachment styles affect relationships, trust, and intimacy, and supports the development of more secure, satisfying ways of relating.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions with greater awareness and non-reactivity. These skills can reduce rumination, improve emotional regulation, and complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wellington works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions and adapts the pace so clients feel involved in choosing how they work together.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, maintain continuity between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals without travelling. Wellington uses these formats to provide consistent, effective care that aligns with each client’s circumstances.
