About Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a therapist originally from Brazil who has made the United Kingdom his home for more than two decades and lives there with his family. He pursued a career in counselling out of a deep appreciation for human connection and a desire to help people discover their strengths and resilience.
He earned a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), and has worked in private practice since then. His training included placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford, all based in London. Across his career he has accumulated more than 3000 hours of client work and also serves as a Clinical Supervisor, supporting other practitioners in effective and ethical therapeutic practice.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works within its Ethical Framework for the counselling professions. His primary clinical approach is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo, which he blends with Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) by Diana Fosha, mindfulness practices, neuroscience-informed techniques, and selected cognitive-behavioural interventions to fit each person's needs. He aims to identify internal conflicts, clarify therapeutic goals, and pursue outcomes efficiently while respecting each client’s pace.
Wellington emphasises a nurturing, non-judgmental atmosphere where emotions can be experienced and processed rather than avoided. He views therapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist work alongside each other to unravel unhelpful patterns and develop clearer, more resilient ways of living. He has found online counselling to be an effective way of working and has offered support in both English and Portuguese to clients in different locations.

Therapeutic approaches online with Wellington
Wellington draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to shape online work in ways that suit each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence present patterns - it helps people understand and change how they relate to others and cope with abandonment or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard - this approach supports self-exploration, building self-esteem, and working through shame or guilt. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings - it can reduce stress, support emotional regulation, and aid recovery from anxiety and compulsive patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wellington works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often combine elements from different models to create a personalised plan, and Wellington tailors interventions to what each person finds most helpful.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging brings practical flexibility - sessions can fit around work, family, and other commitments and make it easier to access ongoing support from home. These options allow Wellington to maintain regular contact and adapt the format to suit how a client prefers to communicate and engage with therapy.
