Patricia Oliveira , BACP

Patricia Oliveira is a Brazilian psychotherapist based in England who offers therapy in both Portuguese and English. She completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees in Psychology in Brazil and practices from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective, drawing on those frameworks to support reflection and inner change.

Patricia treats therapy as a space to speak openly, reflect, and explore life’s challenges rather than pursuing quick fixes. Her approach focuses on creating conditions for insight and gradual emotional movement, helping clients understand patterns and meanings that shape their experience.

She has worked with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, parenting and family dynamics, long-term trauma, and issues connected to immigration and adapting to different cultural contexts. Patricia is affiliated with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents standards for professional practice in the United Kingdom.

Clients seeking support with relationships, identity, grief, stress, or transitions may find her style attentive and exploratory, with an emphasis on understanding how early patterns and current circumstances interact to influence wellbeing.

Jungian and Psychodynamic Approaches for Online Care

Patricia integrates Jungian therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help clients explore inner life and relational patterns. Jungian therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams, and personal meaning, supporting people who want to deepen self-understanding and address recurring themes such as identity, intimacy, and feelings of emptiness. Psychodynamic work focuses on how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions and relationships, which can be useful for clients dealing with attachment issues, family problems, or long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Patricia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the style and focus over time so therapy remains relevant and helpful as issues evolve.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or relocation. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to access support when geographic distance or schedules would otherwise be a barrier.
