Professional, compassionate and non-judgemental counselling support
Hampshire, UK
About Aline
I will offer you a confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about past or current difficulties, allowing you to explore your life experiences, relationships and emotions.
You will find me a respectful, warm, and calm person to work with. Rather than giving you advice on resolving your issues, I will act as a guiding companion and we will work collaboratively to help you find the strength and answers that lie within you. My aim is not to pressure you to talk about anything you are not ready to, and I will go along with you as slowly and gently as you want.I have experience in counselling for a wide range of mental health issues. My special interest lies in supporting those who have suffered severe childhood trauma (emotional /physical/sexual) or adult sexual abuse.
My volunteering experience includes working for a number of different charities supporting those experiencing various types of traumatic experiences, bereavement, baby loss. Prior to qualifying as a counsellor, I worked in a corporate environment specialising in people and leadership development.
My belief is that everyone has value and is unique, with much more potential than they think they have. I am passionate about helping people transform themselves.

What can I expect from Counselling?
My aim is to help you find your own insights and solutions rather than telling you what to do.
Counselling offers a unique opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings in an environment where you feel truly understood and accepted, no matter what your issue
is. It can help process unresolved issues from your present or past. Working with the right counsellor can be a profound life-changing experience. Outcomes can range
from acceptance of yourself or your life experiences to making significant changes to gain inner peace and happiness.
I recognise that there is some anxiety about coming to therapy and sharing very personal and private thoughts and emotions. That is why finding the right counsellor is central to your counselling experience.
The offer of a free 30 minute consultation will give you the opportunity to ask questions and help you decide whether my way of working will suit you. My intention is to build a relationship with you where you feel comfortable and trusting enough to talk about anything that is of concern to you, without fear of judgement or rejection.
Your emotional distress is unique to you and there is no “one-size fits all” therapy. I will draw on several different therapies to help you make practical and positive changes in your life. This might include creative gestalt therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, emotional freedom technique, internal family systems, inner child work, attachment
theory, transactional analysis and others that have a basis in neuroscience.
The advantage of individual counselling is that it gives you the undivided attention you need to explore what is troubling you. Whether you are struggling with grief, depression, anxiety, or psychological trauma, the treatment plan can be tailored to your specific needs. Flexibility ensures that whilst most sessions will focus on the primary reason for seeking therapy, other sessions might focus on specific issues that have surfaced and need immediate attention
Work-place psychological coaching is essentially about helping you become more successful in the workplace.
It is designed help you find new and different ways to improve the quality of your professional and personal life. Depending on your specific issues or concerns, we’ll explore their origin, identify possible solutions and develop strategies to address them.
Whether it is to build professional confidence, develop self-awareness, cope with specific personal or professional challenges, navigate change and improve relationships my global leadership development experience will be invaluable for you.
