Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira is an ACA counsellor who uses evidence-based techniques to help adults manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and understands the strain of building a life away from home.

She works with people who feel emotionally dependent or stuck in repeating relationship cycles. Conversations are practical and focused on small changes that make daily life easier.
Her experience includes supporting people through low mood, anxious symptoms and family conflicts. She also helps clients face loss, fertility-related worries and the fallout from separation. Sessions aim to explore what matters most and to map simple steps forward.
Aline trained in Brazil and now practises in Sydney, Australia. She emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental environment where clients can speak honestly about fear, shame and guilt. The therapist focuses on building trust so people can try new ways of coping.
People booking with Aline complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. If you want someone who offers therapy in Portuguese or English and who understands the challenges of relocating, she may be a good fit.
How Aline Uses CBT and Schema Ideas Online
Aline works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT sessions usually focus on identifying thoughts that increase anxiety or low mood and trying practical exercises to change them.She also uses Schema Therapy concepts to look at longer-standing life patterns that keep recurring. This approach helps people understand how early experiences shape current reactions and supports developing alternative ways of relating and coping.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and test what fits a client's needs and goals. Together they choose techniques that match the issue and the person's preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
