About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a BACP-registered counsellor with nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has worked in private practice and placements in NHS surgeries, substance misuse services and community settings. He lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, trauma, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family matters, parenting and grief among his focus areas.
He draws on a number of approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centred work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions aim to identify internal conflicts and clarify what the client wants to address. Goals are set together and the emphasis is on working efficiently toward those goals.
His background includes more than 3,000 hours of client work and placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS surgeries and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford, London. He also mentions experience in clinical supervision. This mix of practice settings informs his work with people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief.
Wellington speaks English and Portuguese and works from a perspective that values experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them. He uses brief, focused methods alongside experiential and mindfulness practices to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Wellington uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values and take small committed actions that matter to them. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and problems that involve avoidance.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and emotional responses. This approach is often used when people want to understand attachment, abandonment or fatherhood issues and how these affect present relationships.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. He will talk with the client about their goals, history and preferences and agree together which approaches to try. That collaborative selection helps shape practical steps and measurable aims for sessions.
