About Edlaine
Edlaine aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. She works collaboratively, listening first and then helping people identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions. The focus is on increasing self-understanding, confidence and the ability to cope with difficult feelings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she pays close attention to each person's experience while also using straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She adapts the balance of listening and practical work to suit each person’s needs.
Over a decade of practice has included helping people with family conflict, intimacy and attachment difficulties, fertility and cancer-related concerns, and issues linked to immigration and ageing. Her work often combines talking, reflection and goal-setting so clients can notice progress between sessions.
If you are weighing up therapy, Edlaine encourages a short initial conversation to see if the working style is a fit. She describes therapy as a joint process and helps people set realistic, manageable goals as they move forward.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the counsellor offers a calm, accepting space and follows the client's pace while helping them name and understand feelings. It can be useful for people facing grief, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical changes to test different ways of responding. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping issues and coping strategies for stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That may mean more listening and reflection at first, with practical techniques introduced later as needed.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people prefer a shorter check-in while others choose a fuller session that allows more reflection. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
