Laura Hine, BACP, NCPS

Laura Hine is a counsellor who focuses on helping people get unstuck from painful thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and feeling unable to keep up with others. Laura brings a calm, practical approach and aims to help people take the next small step forward.

She uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred ways of working with psychodynamic and relational ideas. That means she adapts sessions to fit what each person needs, rather than using a single method for everyone. She pays particular attention to trauma and attachment concerns and discusses how past experiences can shape current relationships and feelings.

Laura has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in private practice and with an agency that specialises in domestic and sexual abuse and trauma. She also works with young people with additional needs at the Priory Group and keeps up to date with training to refine her skills.

Her listed approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Laura is recorded with BACP and NCPS, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding.

People usually begin by talking through what matters most to them and what they hope will change. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the issues the person brings, whether that is relationship strain, grief, stress, or coping after trauma.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In online sessions this often means talking through past relationship experiences and noticing how they influence present connections and trust. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s experience and priorities, giving space for the client to lead while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what is most important. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses, and techniques are adjusted to fit what’s helpful in session.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions when someone is away from their usual location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the way they use these approaches so therapy fits practical routines and the issues being addressed.
