About Laura
Counsellor Laura Hine, BACP, NCPS, has seven years of professional experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, and other emotional difficulties. She is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions aim to help people find practical ways to manage distress and make clearer choices in daily life.
Laura uses an integrative counselling approach. She draws on attachment-focused ideas, psychodynamic thinking, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural methods. She also uses narrative and solution-focused elements when they suit the issue. This means she adapts how she works to fit the concerns and goals brought into sessions.
Her background includes work with a service specialising in domestic and sexual abuse and trauma. She has provided support to young people with special needs and emotional difficulties while working with the Priory Group. She continues to update her skills through extra training and practice.
In sessions she pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, such as unhelpful thoughts and repetitive behaviours. Therapy can cover relationship difficulties, grief, problems with self-esteem, addiction-related issues, parenting strain, career stress and coping after loss or change. Laura also notes work around attachment issues, autism and neurodiversity related concerns.
People can expect a counselling process that looks at past patterns and present problems. The focus is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes. Booking begins by using the site matching questionnaire and arranging a first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. In practice this can mean noticing patterns of closeness and distance and linking them to feelings such as fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others.Client-centred practice focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing, and helps people name what matters and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It provides practical ways to test and change those patterns, often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses and can change over time.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions without being on camera when needed, which can suit people with limited time or low bandwidth.
