About Laine
Counsellor Laine George is a BACP member with three years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, depression and coping with life changes.
Laine trained as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and draws on several approaches in her work. She uses person-centred principles to focus on the relationship between client and counsellor. That means she pays attention to how people relate to one another and how those patterns affect everyday life.
Her sessions are conversational. She listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about how problems show up day to day. She may introduce mindfulness practices to help with stress or use cognitive behavioural techniques to look at unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses solution-focused ideas when clients want short-term ways to manage specific issues.
Laine has worked in secondary schools as well as running a private practice. That has given her experience with a wide range of backgrounds and age groups. She says she keeps learning through that variety and through registered professional resources.
People who like a straightforward, relational approach tend to find her style fits. She asks about the client’s goals and works with them to agree practical next steps. To find out more she is listed on the BACP therapist register and there is further information on her website.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour. It can help when past relationships shape current worries about trust, intimacy or safety in connections.Client-centred work focuses on the relationship in the room and on listening without judgement. It helps people talk through their concerns and clarify what matters to them in straightforward terms.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, examines how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to agree what methods to try, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as sessions progress.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions to take place when someone prefers not to be on camera or has limited bandwidth.
