About Patricia
Patricia Oliveira is a psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. Patricia trained in psychology in Brazil and holds both undergraduate and master's degrees in the subject.
She works from a Jungian and psychodynamic perspective. Patricia helps people talk about relationship struggles, family tensions and parenting worries. She supports those coping with life changes, stress and anxiety.
Background and approach
She also works with depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns and issues connected to sexuality and LGBT identity. Her work addresses deeper themes such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and family of origin problems. She has helped people facing divorce and separation, blended family challenges, codependency and domestic violence.
Immigration and multicultural concerns are part of her practice too. Patricia uses a reflective, exploratory style rather than quick fixes. Sessions focus on building understanding and allowing insight to grow.
Conversations often look at personal history, recurring patterns and the emotions behind them. Many clients find this approach useful when they want to make lasting changes in how they relate and feel. Patricia encourages steady progress and attention to the personal meanings that emerge during therapy.
She is available to work with international clients and conducts work in both Portuguese and English.

How Patricia works online
Psychodynamic ideas focus on how past experiences shape present behaviour and emotions. This approach helps people notice repeated life patterns and make different choices with more awareness and intention.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Patricia will work together with each person to decide whether Jungian or psychodynamic work fits their goals and needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. They can also be adapted for shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better suits someone's day or bandwidth.
