My therapist is warm and compassionate, with exceptional listening skills. She has a unique talent for helping clients piece together their personal puzzles. Her flexible approach allows her to adapt to each client's needs. What I find most valuable is her ability to help me understand my unconscious patterns and behaviors. She's been amazing throughout my therapeutic journey.

I offer psychotherapy for individuals in English and Portuguese.
I am a Brazilian psychotherapist who moved to England in 2018. My practice is centred on individuals seeking to delve deeper into their challenges.
Over the years, I have gained professional experience supporting clients in various areas of life, particularly with complex family dynamics, parenting challenges, and the intricacies of immigration. I've also been working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and the long-term effects of childhood trauma.
This work highlights the process of individuation, helping clients uncover and align with their true selves through exploration in dialogue.
My approach involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to freely express their thoughts and emotions, aiming towards the process of individuation. This process is about gaining awareness of the factors that influence how a person relates to the entirety of their psychological, interpersonal, and cultural experiences.
It's a process that requires patience, commitment and trust. Session by session, we delve deeper into understanding who you are and explore paths to authenticity and profound discoveries.
As a native Portuguese speaker, I'm delighted to work with people who communicate in Portuguese.

About online counseling
- Affordable.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

lovely, the sweetest, smart
I have found Patricia very compassionate. She showed kindness when I'm upset. I am very grateful for tye time and space that I am getting from these sessions
Patricia has great empathy and is a very calming and reassuring influence. Not having had therapy before it was all a bit daunting but she put me at ease almost immediately and we have developed a comfortable, rewarding routine.
I was worried about starting therapy but Patricia connected with me quickly, and I find it easy to talk to her. She is genuinely interested in what I say, but what I find helpful is that she has a special skill to identify what lies beneath surface. Therapy sessions are already helping me - I'm so happy I found her.
Patricia is literally the best therapist I've met. She enters our sessions with so much wisdom and compassion that I'm really grateful to be her patient.
The best therapist ever. I'm feeling a lot better and understanding my feelings also better. I didn't even know about my emotions and feelings, but in therapy it became easier. Totally recommend this specialist!
