About Patricia
BACP registered counsellor with ten years' experience. Patricia Oliveira offers therapy in English and Portuguese from the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and cultural or immigration-related issues.
Patricia works from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective. She prioritises time for talking and reflection rather than quick fixes. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, understand difficult feelings and make changes that fit their life.
Her work includes support for intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career concerns and the stresses of life transitions. She also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency and family-of-origin problems. Sexuality and LGBT matters are part of her practice alongside somatisation and fatherhood issues.
Patricia trained in psychology in Brazil, completing both undergraduate and master's degrees in the subject. Her background includes practice with people facing long-standing trauma and those adjusting to new cultural contexts after migration. Her bilingual ability means she can work with Portuguese speakers as well as English speakers.
Sessions are conversational and reflective. Patricia helps clients notice what repeats in their relationships and life choices, then uses discussion and psychodynamic ideas to open up new possibilities. People who prefer thoughtful, exploratory work that looks at past and present often find this style fits their needs.

How Jungian and psychodynamic ideas translate to online work
Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, symbols and recurring life patterns to help people make sense of hard-to-name feelings. It can be useful for relationship pain, identity questions, grief and the effects of long-term trauma. Psychodynamic approaches focus on how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape current reactions and choices, which can help with anxiety, depression and family conflict.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss methods and options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus more on exploring past material, current relationships or present difficulties.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins and offering flexibility around work or family schedules. They can also allow people to work with a bilingual therapist when language or cultural understanding matters.
