About Patricia

Patricia Oliveira is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who offers sessions in English and Portuguese. She trained in psychology in Brazil and holds a Master’s degree in Psychology. Patricia works from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective and brings ten years of practice to her work.

She helps people talk through anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges and family tensions. People navigating immigration, different cultural contexts or grief may find her approach useful.

Patricia’s sessions focus on creating space for reflection rather than quick fixes. Conversations aim to uncover patterns shaped by past relationships and life experiences. She uses Jungian ideas to pay attention to symbols, dreams and recurring themes when they arise.

In practical terms Patricia listens, asks questions and offers observations that help people see things differently. She encourages small steps that fit daily life and personal values. The emphasis is on understanding what matters to each person and finding ways to move forward.

Her background in Brazil and work in the UK inform a multicultural outlook. That can be helpful for clients dealing with migration, cultural change or the clash of different expectations. Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and she accepts international clients.

Jungian-informed work and online counselling

Patricia uses Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to guide online therapy. Jungian Therapy pays attention to personal symbols, dreams and life narratives, helping people notice patterns that shape feelings and choices. Psychodynamic approaches look at how past relationships influence present behaviour and emotional reactions, which can be helpful for long-standing patterns like attachment or abandonment issues.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Patricia discusses goals, preferences and what feels helpful, so the work is adjusted over time. She aims to match the way she works to each person's needs rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the session format before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow sessions across different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or quieter, camera-off conversations where that suits the person. Ask about available options when you arrange a session.
