Patricia Oliveira, BACP

Patricia Oliveira is a Brazilian psychotherapist based in England who offers sessions in both Portuguese and English. She completed undergraduate and master’s degrees in Psychology in Brazil and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for therapists in the United Kingdom.

With ten years of clinical experience, Patricia practices from Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives. Her work emphasizes thoughtful reflection and the development of insight rather than quick fixes, creating space for inner movement and understanding to emerge over time. She aims to help people explore patterns that affect relationships, sense of self, and emotional well-being.

Patricia has worked with anxiety and depression, parenting and family dynamics, long-term trauma, and the specific challenges that come with immigration and adapting to new cultural contexts. She supports clients who are navigating life changes and seeks to tailor the therapeutic process to each person’s background and goals, offering a calming, exploratory approach to foster lasting psychological growth.

Jungian and Psychodynamic Approaches Delivered Online

Patricia works primarily from a Jungian perspective, which explores personal symbols, dreams, and recurring life themes to help people understand deeper parts of themselves and how those patterns shape relationships and identity. This approach can be useful for those facing issues like emptiness, attachment concerns, or identity shifts.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas, focusing on how past experiences and family dynamics influence present-day feelings and behavior. Psychodynamic work often helps people make sense of repeated relationship patterns, unresolved grief, and long-standing emotional difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Patricia treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy lives or who live far from her practice. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support across time zones, and continue therapy during transitions or relocation while working with registered professionals who can tailor care to each client’s circumstances.
