Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan De Oliveira is an integrative therapist working from private practice in Ealing, West London (W5) and offering online appointments across the United Kingdom and internationally. He combines a client-centred way of working with flexible therapeutic methods so each session can be tailored to an individual pace and need, creating a space to explore thoughts, emotions, relationships and bodily experience with curiosity and compassion.

He is BACP registered - registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds a COSRT Level 5 certificate in Psychosexual Therapy plus coaching qualifications. His core training in Psychosynthesis Counselling frames difficulties as potential opportunities for growth, and this perspective informs work with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, grief and life changes.

Jonathan welcomes clients who wish to address a wide range of themes including the connection between body and mind, diversity in culture, race, gender and sexuality, intergenerational trauma, psychosexual challenges and psychedelic integration support for harm reduction. He has experience in teaching, mental health support and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad, and has worked with The Psychosynthesis Trust, Ealing Abbey Counselling Services and a mental health charity.

Because the use of psychedelic substances is currently illegal in the UK, Jonathan asks that clients do not contact him requesting illegal psychedelic-assisted work. He offers preparation and integration support solely for harm reduction purposes and does not support the use of illicit substances in unregulated or illegal frameworks.

Approaches in online therapy with an integrative focus

Psychosynthesis Counselling forms a central strand of Jonathan's practice - a developmental approach that helps clients connect inner resources, observe patterns and work with emotional and bodily experience as pathways to greater self-understanding and resilience. It is often useful for people addressing life transitions, identity concerns, grief and trauma.

Psychosexual Therapy, informed by a COSRT Level 5 qualification, addresses sexual health, intimacy-related issues and relationship challenges in a respectful and nonjudgmental way. This work can support people exploring kink, BDSM, alternative relationship structures, communication around desire and overcoming shame or sexual difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jonathan works collaboratively with clients - exploring goals, preferences and practical needs - and adapts techniques from different models to suit each person's circumstances and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow clients to access registered professionals without travel, fit work or family commitments more easily and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. These options can make therapy more accessible while still supporting meaningful therapeutic work with an experienced therapist.
