About Laura

Laura Hine works with people who feel stuck because of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems or unhelpful behaviour patterns. She uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment, psychodynamic and person-centred ideas and has seven years of professional experience. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

She describes her work as trauma and attachment focused and uses a range of approaches to match the issue presented. In practice this means sessions explore past relationship patterns, current difficulties and how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. Sessions aim to make practical sense of what is happening, and to try out different ways of coping and relating.

Laura has worked alongside an agency specialising in domestic and sexual abuse and with young people who have special needs and emotional difficulties. That experience informs her work with trauma, relationships and complex emotional responses such as grief, anger, shame and addiction. She keeps up to date with extra training to refine her clinical practice.

Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, looking at how attachment affects relationships, and using cognitive and narrative ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and stories about the self. She also offers coaching-style conversations where appropriate to address career, parenting or life-change goals.

People can expect a steady, structured style that considers both past experience and present challenges. Laura accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking, check which session formats are currently offered.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting with others and can help with relationship difficulties, trust and intimacy-related issues. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s own experience and uses listening and reflection to help them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and some behavioural problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options, depending on the available formats for this counsellor.
