Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira

Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira is an ACA counsellor who offers individual therapy for adults. She uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people manage anxiety, low mood and difficult life changes. Sessions are carried out in English and Portuguese to suit bilingual needs.

She trained in Brazil and holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Her postgraduate work included Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy. Aline draws on these approaches to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving.

People often come to her for help with relationship strain, family problems and the emotional impact of separation and divorce. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and communication difficulties. She aims to make each session clear and practical, focusing on small steps that can be tried between meetings.

Aline has three years of professional experience and brings particular sensitivity to people who are rebuilding their lives in a new country. She understands how cultural change and distance from family can affect mood, belonging and identity, and she offers support in Portuguese when that helps clients express themselves more fully.

Her approach prioritises a respectful, steady therapeutic relationship. Clients can expect a calm space to be heard, practical tools from CBT and Schema Therapy, and collaborative planning for goals and next steps.

How CBT and Schema Work Online

Aline commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot connections between thoughts, feelings and actions, and then try small experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood. Schema Therapy looks at long-standing patterns formed in early life and offers ways to recognise and change those deep-rooted responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aline will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes the plan and the pace of therapy, with regular check-ins to adjust approaches as required.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use their preferred language more easily, which is useful for bilingual speakers who want to switch between English and Portuguese during sessions.
