I'm Cesar Bueno. Originally from Brazil, I've called the UK home for over two decades, where I live with my loving family. My profound love for human connection led me to pursue a career in therapy, and I find immense joy in helping individuals uncover their potential.
Since earning my Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2015, accredited by the CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body), I've dedicated myself to private practice. Additionally, I've completed placements at The Awareness Centre, NHS Surgeries, and TTP Drugs and Alcohol in Deptford- all in London. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
My primary approach is Mindfulness-Based Experiential Therapy (MBET), which integrates various modalities including Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy by Dr. Habib Davanloo, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy by Diana Fosha, mindfulness, neuroscience-based techniques, and CBT interventions. I recognise each client’s uniqueness and tailor interventions to ensure a personalised therapeutic experience. Together, we identify the conflicts that are causing your suffering, that you wish to address, set goals, and define the desired outcomes, which I call the therapeutic task. My aim is to help you get better as fast as possible, as I do not believe that therapy must be a long process. This is the very reason why I am aways learning from approaches proven to be efficient and short-term.
In our therapeutic journey, we walk side by side as equals. My goal is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your emotions and thoughts that have been influencing your behaviour. Together, we unravel negative thinking patterns, empowering you to approach life with clarity and resilience. You set the pace, and I’m here to provide steadfast support. Through a blend of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and neuroscience-backed interventions, we discover healthier ways for you to navigate both your inner world and the world around you. I see emotions having a natural flow, and fully experiencing them, rather than avoiding them, brings a sense of completion and transformation, accelerating the healing process.
Nowadays with the event of internet, I have found online counselling an effective way to work with my clients. I have English or Portuguese speaking clients all over the world.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Wellington Cesar Assis Bueno. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Cesar is a highly professional and insightful therapist. The support he has provided me has been invaluable, giving me the space - and when I didn't know I needed it, challenging me - to understand the route causes of my struggles. I would recommend Cesar to anyone who, like me, was apprehensive about starting therapy. I just wish I has started this journey sooner and I am grateful for Cesar's expertise.

I have been blown away by Cesar, a top professional who has helped me immensely! Cesar listens to everything I say with immense detail so we can work together to break everything down. Cesar is extremely calming, and iv only had 2 sessions with him so far but those sessions have been incredible, really detailed sessions where even after the first sessions I felt so much better. Thank you Cesar

Cesar is a very joyful warm being. He is an excellent listener giving me time and a very safe space to express what's going on for me.. He wastes no time in getting to the core issues that enable this process to be goal directed. He is very clear in his insights which he can express in a short sentence. I'm looking forward to getting deeper into this process.
