About Edlaine
With ten years' experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space. She works together with each person to build understanding and practical coping strategies for day-to-day life.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In sessions she listens first, then helps people try small changes in thinking and behaviour that can ease distress. The focus is on what matters now and what can be done between meetings.
She adapts her style to fit each person's needs and cultural background. That might mean focusing on emotional exploration in one week, and straightforward coping tactics the next. Her aim is to help people gain clearer perspective and more confidence in handling problems.
People come to her for many reasons, including family difficulties, intimacy and attachment concerns, grief, career stress and issues connected to illness or immigration. She works step by step to support recovery, growth and a steadier sense of wellbeing.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-judgemental space where the client's own experience guides the work. Online sessions using this approach involve listening closely, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behaviour. In remote sessions CBT often includes setting small, practical tasks between meetings and trying new ways of responding to difficult thoughts.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will try methods that suit the person's circumstances and adjust them over time based on what works.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a therapist who speaks English or Portuguese regardless of location. The emphasis is on practical, usable tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
