Patricia Oliveira
Compassionate Jungian therapy for life changes
About Patricia
Patricia Oliveira offers support for relationship strain, parenting worries, family conflict, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. She also helps people facing grief, identity and intimacy-related issues, career stress, and the practical pressures of migration and multicultural adjustment. Patricia works with clients who are dealing with codependency, attachment wounds, abandonment, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence.
Patricia is a Brazilian psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and Portuguese and holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She trained in psychology in Brazil and has around ten years of experience in clinical work. Her style is reflective and exploratory. Sessions are a place to speak frankly, think through painful patterns, and notice what keeps repeating in daily life.
Patricia does not chase quick fixes; she focuses on helping insights emerge over time so people can change how they respond to familiar problems. She works from Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives. That means attention to personal history, inner imagery, recurring themes, and how early relationships shape present behaviour.
Sessions often involve talking about dreams, memories, relationships, and current stresses to uncover underlying meaning. Patricia offers online appointments in several formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients may be seen, and she will work with each person to find the format and pace that suit them.

Sessions & fees
Jungian therapy online and practical session choices
Jungian Therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams and recurring life themes. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns, struggle with identity, or want to make sense of deep emotional conflicts. The approach invites reflection on inner images and personal myths to foster new understanding.Psychodynamic ideas focus on how early relationships shape present reactions and sights into long-standing patterns. This perspective suits people wanting to understand why they respond a certain way in relationships or under stress, and to change those automatic reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will discuss your goals, preferences and the issues you bring and together you will decide what method fits best. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in sessions and how progress is measured.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and relocation challenges while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
