About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor who blends short-term, experiential work with mindfulness and client-led care. He trained in therapeutic counselling and brings nine years of clinical practice to his sessions. He speaks English and Portuguese and lives in the United Kingdom after many years in Brazil and the UK. Wellington has a particular interest in sleep and rest as part of overall wellbeing.
His approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused methods and client-centred principles. He uses these to help people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit each person’s life.
Wellington has a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling awarded by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, and he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over his career he has worked in NHS surgeries, specialist drug and alcohol services and private practice, accumulating more than 3000 hours of client contact.
In session he helps people name the feelings behind behaviours and test new ways of responding. He pays attention to attachment patterns, trauma, addictions, and relationship difficulties, and he supports work on sleep and rest when that is affecting daily life. The tone is collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on getting clearer and feeling better.
People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where the pace is set by the client. Wellington aims to offer focused work that values emotional experience alongside practical change. He also works as a clinical supervisor and continues further training to refine short-term, evidence-informed methods.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviours, helping people improve emotional responses and connection. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and pace, offering a listening, non-judgemental space to explore concerns such as grief, low self-esteem or relationship issues.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. Decisions about what to try are revisited as work progresses, so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for steady weekly work, check-ins about sleep and rest, and focused short-term interventions that slot into everyday routines.
