About Aline
Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience working in Australia. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and completed postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy in Brazil. She offers individual psychotherapy for adults and works in both English and Portuguese.
She helps people facing anxiety, stress and low mood. Relationship strains, family problems and grief are common topics in her work. Guilt and shame, along with issues like abandonment and attachment, are also areas she addresses.
Aline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, especially CBT and Schema Therapy, to help people examine unhelpful thoughts and long-standing patterns. She aims to make sessions practical and focused, with clear steps to try between meetings. Conversations often look at how past family dynamics shape current reactions.
She has particular experience supporting people adjusting to life far from their home country and the cultural strain that can bring. She also works with fertility, fatherhood and separation concerns when these affect a person’s emotional wellbeing. Sessions are offered in Portuguese and English to suit language needs.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the platform. Confirm current session options before booking.
Using evidence-based methods in online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions.Schema Therapy looks at persistent life patterns that grew from early relationships. It helps people name recurring patterns such as avoidance or emotional dependence and work on changing those long-standing responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques to try, based on the person’s goals, history and how they respond in early sessions. That collaborative check-in helps guide ongoing choices about methods and focus.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow conversation in English or Portuguese to reflect language comfort and cultural context.
