About Patricia
Patricia Oliveira is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers therapy in English and Portuguese and supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting pressures and the stresses of life changes.
Patricia works from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective. She focuses on helping people talk through what feels stuck, notice recurring patterns and make sense of how past experiences affect present choices. Sessions tend toward reflection and understanding rather than quick fixes.
In practice she helps with issues such as family and blended family problems, abandonment and attachment concerns, and the emotional effects of immigration and multicultural adjustment. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries.
Her approach often involves looking at unconscious patterns and personal stories so that insight can lead to change. Conversations aim to surface feelings and recurring themes, then consider practical steps people can try between sessions.
Patricia’s background includes undergraduate and master’s degrees in Psychology completed in Brazil. She now works in the UK and draws on her multicultural experience when supporting clients from diverse backgrounds.
Working online with Jungian and psychodynamic approaches
Patricia draws on Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives. Jungian Therapy explores personal stories, dreams and recurring images to help people understand deeper patterns. This can be useful for issues like identity, attachment, and feelings of emptiness or recurring relationship problems.Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. It helps people recognise unconscious patterns and consider new ways of responding to stress, grief and intimacy-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patricia will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to think about your concerns. She will help you decide whether a more reflective Jungian route or an emotionally focused psychodynamic style fits better, and they will adjust the way they work as those needs change.
