About Jonathan

Jonathan De Oliveira is a counsellor who offers a calm, straightforward way to talk about difficult issues. He works in English and Portuguese and is based in the United Kingdom. He aims to make sessions feel manageable and paced to each person’s needs.

Parents and carers will find short, clear sessions that focus on practical steps and understanding. Jonathan helps people name what feels hard, from anxiety and low mood to relationship strains and grief.

Background and approach

He also supports those coping with identity issues, discrimination, and sexual health or intimacy concerns. His approach blends several perspectives so he can adapt to what each person needs in the room. Sessions often explore where difficult feelings come from and look at small changes that make daily life easier.

He emphasises noticing patterns, developing communication skills, and building self-compassion. Jonathan lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which he uses as a professional reference. He has three years of practice and experience in teaching, mental health support, and complementary therapies in the UK and abroad.

He offers both in-person work in West London and online sessions. Jonathan can help people who want either short-term focused work or longer ongoing support. He asks that people do not contact him for illegal psychedelic-assisted treatment; he does provide preparation and integration support for those who have taken substances, focused on harm reduction only.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jonathan’s work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside psychosynthesis-informed counselling. One strand explores the connection between body and mind, helping people notice physical reactions and learn simple ways to calm or shift them. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and body image concerns.

He also uses elements from psychosexual therapy to address intimacy, sexual health and relationship concerns in a practical way. These methods focus on information, communication skills and step-by-step changes that improve comfort and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will talk about what seems to help, check goals, and try different ways of working until a good fit is found.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are suited to fuller therapeutic work and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and messaging is useful for ongoing, brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while still keeping the focus on progress.
