About Patricia
Patricia Oliveira is a psychotherapist who supports people with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and the emotional effects of migration. She provides sessions in English and Portuguese and draws on Jungian ideas in her work. Patricia aims to help people notice what matters beneath everyday worries and make steady changes that feel right for them.
Patricia trained in psychology in Brazil and holds a Master’s degree in Psychology. She has practised for 10 years and has a BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP.
Background and approach
Her background includes working with long-term trauma, family dynamics and challenges linked to moving between cultures. In sessions she uses a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective to look at themes, patterns and personal meaning. Patricia encourages reflection rather than quick fixes, and she helps people find insight that can change feelings and choices over time.
Conversations often explore recurring emotions, dreams or life stories to uncover deeper material. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, stress, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career worries and LGBT matters. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, blended family difficulties, codependency, domestic violence and somatic symptoms connected to emotional strain.
Patricia offers several online formats so people can choose what suits them best. International clients may take part, and she will discuss which approach and session length fit each person’s needs when you make contact.

Online support
Jungian-informed therapy online and practical options
Jungian Therapy looks at recurring themes, symbols and life stories to help people understand deeper patterns in their emotions and behaviour. It can be useful for issues such as identity questions, relationship patterns, grief and long-standing emotional pain. Patricia uses these ideas to help clients notice hidden themes and develop insight over time.Psychodynamic ways of working focus on how past experiences shape present responses. This approach supports people who want to understand why they react in certain ways and to change those patterns through reflection and conversation. Together the approaches aim to create thoughtful, gradual shifts rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to communicate, then suggest whether Jungian or psychodynamic elements suit your needs. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are like face-to-face sessions and allow visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and international time zones, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
