Jonathan De Oliveira, BACP

Jonathan works in an integrative, client-centred way that blends approaches to match what each person needs. One strand draws on psychosynthesis counselling, which helps people connect inner strengths and organise different parts of their experience to move forward. This can be useful for life purpose questions, midlife reflection and for people who want a meaning-focused route to change.

He also offers psychosexual therapy-informed support, which looks at sexual wellbeing, intimacy-related problems and the impact of culture and identity on sexual expression. That approach helps when people face challenges around desire, body image, kink and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. In addition he offers preparation and integration support around psychedelic experiences for harm reduction and aftercare, while not encouraging unlawful use.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods to fit goals, comfort and pace. Clients are supported to try different ways of working and to shape sessions as therapy progresses.

Online formats are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from a distance. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, short counselling moments or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
