About Patricia

Patricia Oliveira offers help for relationship strain, parenting worries, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, identity and sexuality concerns, and difficulties linked to immigration or multicultural life. Patricia speaks both English and Portuguese and works from a perspective that values depth and personal meaning.

Patricia trained in psychology in Brazil and holds a Master’s degree in the subject. She practises with ideas drawn from Jungian and psychodynamic thought, which means she pays attention to feelings, recurring patterns and the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions aim to make space for reflection rather than pushing for quick fixes.

In her sessions Patricia listens for patterns that link past experience to current problems. She helps people name difficult emotions and notice relational habits that cause pain. Practical conversation and reflective work are combined so people leave with clearer next steps and a deeper sense of what matters to them.

Patricia has around 10 years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with individuals who want to understand themselves better and find steadier ways of coping.

Sessions can be offered in English or Portuguese, and Patricia welcomes clients from other countries. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Jungian ideas translate to online therapy

Jungian therapy places attention on personal stories, dreams and recurring life patterns to help people make sense of difficult feelings. It can be useful for issues like identity, relationship struggles, long-standing emotional pain and the sense of emptiness that follows loss or major life change. Psychodynamic ideas complement this by looking at how earlier experiences shape current reactions and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will talk with each person about what matters to them and try different ways of working until there is a good fit. That collaborative process helps build clarity about goals and which methods feel most helpful over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and letting people join from different locations or time zones. It also allows flexibility for shorter check-ins or for choosing audio-only contact when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and focus of online work to suit your goals.
