Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira, ACA

Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira is an ACA counsellor who combines practical, evidence-based methods with a warm and respectful approach. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make therapy straightforward and easy to understand. Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief or family stress, and she focuses on clear steps to help them feel steadier.

Aline trained in Brazil with a Bachelor of Psychology and postgraduate studies in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy. She has three years of clinical experience supporting adults through low mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and trying different ways of responding to those patterns.

Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, emotional dependence and communication problems that affect close relationships. She also supports people facing separation, fertility-related stress, fatherhood issues and family of origin difficulties. Aline uses practical exercises and conversations to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build more helpful habits.

Clients can expect a non-judgemental space where their experience is heard and respected. Aline places importance on building trust first, then setting small, achievable goals. She encourages homework between sessions so new insights can be practised in everyday life.

She understands the challenges of relocating and adapting to a new culture, and brings sensitivity to the experience of building a life far from home. If someone wants to start, they follow the site process to match with her and schedule sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Aline draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviours that keep stress and anxiety going, then tests small changes to shift how people feel. Schema Therapy looks at long-standing patterns formed in childhood or relationships and works to change those deep patterns through new ways of thinking and relating.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend techniques that seem most helpful. Together they review progress and adjust the plan if something is not working well.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and offer flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without being on camera if that feels better for the person.
