Background and approach
He has worked in a variety of settings including NHS surgeries, substance misuse services and community centres, and has completed more than 3,000 hours of client work. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides his practice. In sessions he combines time-limited, emotion-focused methods with mindfulness and selected cognitive approaches.
He aims to help people name the internal conflicts that keep them stuck and then set clear, achievable goals. Work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. His practice covers a wide range of concerns such as trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, grief, parenting stress, body image and work-related stress.
He also offers support around attachment and abandonment themes and problems such as codependency or dissociation. Wellington seeks to create a calm, non-judgemental space where feelings can be experienced and understood. He invites clients to work toward more clarity and resilience, and to find ways of living that feel more in line with their values and priorities.

How emotion-focused methods translate to online therapy
Wellington draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in his online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and habit change. Attachment-based approaches focus on understanding how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wellington will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. This is done collaboratively, with room to adjust the focus as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks. It also offers flexibility like shorter check-ins or switching to phone when video is difficult. Discuss practical needs with the counsellor when you schedule to find arrangements that fit your routine.
