About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno uses a mix of psychodynamic and experiential approaches to help people move through stuck emotions and painful patterns. He offers a calm, focused presence and works to identify the problems behind symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties.
Wellington is named in the BACP register, which signals he follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's Ethical Framework. He practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Portuguese.
How Wellington works
Wellington trained in therapeutic counselling at level 4, completing his diploma in 2015. He has over nine years of professional experience and more than 3,000 hours of client work from placements in NHS surgeries, drug and alcohol services, and independent practice. He also undertakes clinical supervision to support other counsellors.
His work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and addictions. He also supports people with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, career transitions and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation and substance-related difficulties.
In sessions Wellington blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. He aims to tailor methods to the person in front of him rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Together he and the client set therapeutic goals and check progress as work continues.
Wellington describes therapy as a collaborative process. He encourages people to notice emotions, test new ways of relating, and build clearer responses to stress. Practical tools and reflective conversation are used side by side to help clients regain control and move forward.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by shifting the focus from symptom control to living a meaningful life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating to others and to emotions. It can support people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues or repeated relationship patterns by offering new experiences of connection and repair.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy proceeds. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check progress and change course when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less data, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to match a session type to a person’s schedule and communication style.
