Eric Rangel Oliveira, AASW

Eric Rangel Oliveira is an AASW-accredited mental health social worker with four years of clinical experience who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. He draws on a trauma-informed, client-centred and non-judgemental stance to help people explore how past experiences continue to shape present patterns and to build practical strategies for change. Eric has supported individuals with mood disorders, substance use and impulse control issues, social anxiety, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship and communication problems.

Originally from Brazil, Eric moved to Australia eight years ago and offers therapy in both English and Portuguese. His practice includes approaches such as harm reduction, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural therapy, schema-informed work, dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness-based interventions, and he aims to combine these tools to meet each person’s needs. Working collaboratively, he helps people develop resilience, strengthen self-efficacy and adopt positive behavioural and lifestyle changes that support wellbeing.

Eric provides psychotherapy for those navigating trauma-related symptoms, compulsive behaviours, LGBTIQA+ minority stress and the everyday challenges of motivation, impulse control and interpersonal connection. He welcomes people who are ready to explore change, and he focuses on creating a respectful space where individuals can identify goals and learn skills to move toward them.
