About Patricia

Patricia Oliveira works with relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, anxiety, depression and life changes using a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and has ten years' experience. Patricia describes therapy as a place to speak freely, reflect and explore rather than chase quick fixes.

Patricia trained in psychology in Brazil and completed a master's degree in the same subject. She now practises from the United Kingdom and draws on Jungian ideas that look at patterns in feelings, dreams and relationships to help people gain insight. Jungian Therapy is used alongside broader psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences influence present behaviour.

In sessions she will invite reflection on emotional patterns, attachment experiences and recurring relationship issues. Work can include talking about family of origin problems, abandonment and attachment issues, blended family and fatherhood concerns, and difficulties after divorce or separation. She also supports people affected by domestic violence and long-term trauma where talking through memories and feelings is needed.

Patricia also helps with immigration and multicultural challenges, sexuality and LGBT topics, somatic symptoms, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Career, self-esteem and intimacy-related difficulties are part of her caseload. She aims to help people notice repeated patterns and develop clearer ways of understanding their responses.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and Patricia accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jungian and psychodynamic work translates online

Patricia uses Jungian Therapy to look at inner images, recurring dreams and emotional patterns. This approach helps people who want to understand repeated relationship or attachment patterns and to name hidden themes affecting daily life.

She also uses psychodynamic thinking to explore how early relationships influence current behaviour and feelings. That approach can help when family of origin issues, abandonment or long-standing trauma shape present responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the methods that fit a person's concerns, aims and preferences and will shape sessions collaboratively as the relationship develops.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it possible to continue therapy while living in another country. Registered or accredited professionals often offer sessions this way to help people keep continuity of contact and to make arranging appointments simpler.
