Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is an integrative, client-centred therapist based in Ealing, West London (W5) who also offers online appointments. He adapts his work to each person, drawing on complementary perspectives so sessions can proceed at a pace and in a style that feel most helpful. This flexible, person-focused approach creates a supportive setting for exploring experiences, making sense of patterns, and identifying ways to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.

Jonathan is a BACP-registered therapist - registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and his core training is in Psychosynthesis Counselling, which frames difficulties as opportunities for personal growth. He also holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy and training in coaching, bringing specialist skills for working with sexual health and relationship concerns alongside broader emotional and life challenges. He provides both short-term and ongoing work in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

He welcomes people wanting to explore the connection between body and mind, relationship dynamics, diversity in culture and sexuality, trauma and intergenerational experiences, transpersonal themes, psychedelic integration, psychosexual issues, and loss or grief. His background includes roles in teaching, mental health support, complementary therapies in the UK and abroad, and work with the Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services, and a mental health charity.

Jonathan asks that people do not contact him to request illegal psychedelic-assisted work. He offers preparation and integration support for harm reduction and wellbeing, and does not support or encourage the use of illicit substances in unregulated or illegal contexts.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Jonathan draws on Psychosynthesis and psychosexual therapy alongside an integrative, client-centred framework. Psychosynthesis focuses on understanding the whole person and using inner resources to work through difficulties - it can help with identity, life transitions, and building personal meaning. Psychosexual therapy (COSRT Level 5 training) offers specialist techniques for addressing sexual concerns, intimacy challenges, and relationship patterns in a respectful, informed way. The integrative client-centred stance emphasises collaboration and adapting methods to each person’s needs, which supports work with anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jonathan works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel most useful, adjusting pace and focus according to their goals, preferences, and lived experience. This joint decision-making helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy allows the same therapeutic approaches to be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel constraints, or differing comfort levels with communication. For many people, these options make therapy more accessible while preserving continuity of care and the opportunity for meaningful therapeutic work with a registered professional.
