About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno works from a person-centred base that draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches. He aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties and issues connected to identity and addiction. He uses straightforward language and practical steps to help people feel clearer about what they want to change.
Wellington trained with the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, achieving a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has accrued more than 3,000 hours of client work and has experience in NHS surgeries, community settings and services for drug and alcohol support. He also works as a clinical supervisor.
His practice blends several approaches so therapy is tailored to each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused work, plus mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That variety lets him match short- and longer-term ways of working to a person’s needs.
In sessions he helps people identify the internal conflicts that keep them stuck. He and the client set clear goals and practical steps - what he calls the therapeutic task. He aims to make progress efficiently while respecting each person’s pace.
Wellington speaks English and Portuguese and is based in the United Kingdom. He has worked with people concerned about grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood issues, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and many other life challenges.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Wellington integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches into his practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns that developed in early relationships and looks at how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will work collaboratively to understand goals, preferences and what feels useful in the room. Together the client and therapist review progress and adjust methods so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. They also let a person continue therapy while relocating within the UK. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that many therapeutic tasks transfer well to an online setting, and the practicalities can be adapted to each person’s situation.
