About Wellington
Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno is a counsellor who combines client-centred work with mindfulness and attachment-focused ideas. He aims to help people understand what drives their emotions and behaviour. He speaks English and Portuguese and practices from the United Kingdom.
Wellington draws on a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them. Attachment-based thinking is used to explore how early bonds shape current relationships and parenting patterns.
Background and approach
He has nine years of clinical experience and more than 3,000 hours of client work since completing a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015. Wellington has worked in a range of settings, including NHS surgeries and services addressing drug and alcohol issues, and he follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.
In sessions he focuses on practical goals and clear tasks. He helps people name the patterns that cause distress and practise different ways of responding. Shorter-term work is an option when it fits the person's aims.
Wellington often supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. He also works with concerns such as attachment problems, fatherhood issues, codependency and body image. People can work with him through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Wellington uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them. This approach focuses on values and small behavioural steps, which can be practised between sessions to support parenting tasks or daily routines.He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current bonds and parenting patterns. That work helps people recognise interaction cycles and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's goals and preferences. Sessions begin by clarifying what the client wants to change and then testing different ways of working to see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins and people who prefer written reflection. These options make it simpler to keep regular work on parenting, stress or grief while juggling everyday commitments.
