Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno, BACP

Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor who blends dynamic and experiential approaches with mindfulness to help people navigate life’s hard moments. He uses clear, goal-focused work to address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. Cesar speaks English and Portuguese and brings nine years of clinical experience to his practice.

He trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling with the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body in 2015. Since then he has worked in private practice and completed placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries and a drugs and alcohol service in Deptford. He has logged over 3,000 hours of client work and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Cesar draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Emotionally-Focused work and mindfulness. He also integrates intensive, experiential dynamic methods and selected cognitive techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The emphasis is on identifying the problems that keep someone stuck and setting a clear therapeutic task together.

He aims to help people feel better efficiently, while respecting their pace. Sessions typically focus on making sense of emotions, changing unhelpful patterns, and building practical ways to cope with life changes such as midlife transitions, grief or career strain. The work is collaborative and grounded in the BACP Ethical Framework.

Cesar says he values human connection and the chance to support clients as they discover clearer ways to live. He welcomes conversations in English and Portuguese about what someone hopes to change and how therapy might help.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections, helping people improve closeness and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the counsellor offering empathic listening so clients can find their own answers and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will choose or combine methods in a way that fits the person's needs and pace, so therapy feels manageable and relevant.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as individual formats may vary. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support therapy with English or Portuguese speakers across the same country.
