About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for nine years in the United Kingdom. He trained to Level 4 in Therapeutic Counselling with the CPCAB and has completed clinical placements in NHS surgeries and substance use services in London. He has logged over 3,000 hours of client work and also works as a clinical supervisor.
Wellington draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and mindfulness. He explains problems in plain terms and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Typical concerns he works with include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, fatherhood issues and guilt or shame. Sessions often involve noticing emotions, naming unhelpful patterns, and trying different ways of responding in everyday life.
Wellington emphasises focused work that aims to make progress without prolonging therapy unnecessarily. He blends experiential methods and mindfulness with some cognitive approaches, and uses his clinical supervision experience to reflect on casework. Clients can expect direct but respectful conversation about what is getting in the way and what matters most to them.
He is fluent in English and Portuguese. For people who prefer remote options he has worked online and has experience with clients based outside the UK, though international arrangements should be checked before booking.
How EFT, ACT and attachment work in remote counselling
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming the feelings that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people recognise emotional cycles and try new ways of responding to strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindful noticing and values-based action to help people live in line with what matters to them despite unwanted thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and aims to change unhelpful ways of relating to others.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Wellington will work with each person to agree what to try first and will adapt methods as goals and preferences become clearer. That way the approach grows out of the client’s needs rather than being imposed in advance.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and having access from different locations. Online work can make shorter check-ins or sessions during a lunch break easier to schedule, and it can reduce travel time. Session formats should be confirmed before booking, so check which options are offered at the time you choose to arrange care. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
