About Patricia
Patricia Oliveira is a psychotherapist who offers help in English and Portuguese. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings ten years' experience to conversations about relationship problems, parenting strain, anxiety and depression. Patricia aims to create a calm space where people can talk and think about what matters most to them.
Patricia trained in Brazil, completing both an undergraduate degree and a Master's in Psychology. She works from a Jungian and psychodynamic viewpoint that pays attention to feelings, personal history and cultural context.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at making sense of patterns rather than rushing to quick fixes. Common topics she supports include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and self-esteem concerns. She also helps people facing life changes such as separation, immigration or career shifts.
Practical day-to-day stresses and family difficulties are included alongside deeper, longer-term themes. In a session Patricia listens for patterns in relationships, family of origin issues and attachment themes. She encourages reflection and connection between past experiences and current reactions.
This approach often involves looking at images, dreams or repeated behaviours to find new meaning. Patricia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. International clients can be seen, and sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability.

Approaches Patricia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how early experiences and family of origin issues shape current reactions. This style can help with attachment problems, abandonment themes and the ways people repeat old relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia collaborates with each person to clarify goals and choose methods that feel useful. She adjusts the focus over time based on how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat or messaging can be used for short reflections between sessions or when typing is easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
