About Laura

Laura Hine is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach rooted in attachment and trauma work. She combines several therapy styles to help people untangle stuck patterns and manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Laura presents a calm, straightforward manner and aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present connections. That perspective is often used alongside client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Background and approach

Narrative and psychodynamic ideas also feature when exploring life stories and recurring emotional patterns. Laura has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Her background includes work with agencies focused on domestic and sexual abuse and trauma, and roles supporting young people with additional needs.

These experiences inform how she plans sessions and responds to complex emotional issues. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored. Expect a mix of talking, practical strategies and gentle reflection about past experiences that still influence day-to-day life.

Goals are set collaboratively so each person knows what they are working towards. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, stress and coping with life changes. She also offers support around trauma, addiction, body image and ADHD-related challenges.

Laura keeps updating her skills through ongoing training to refine how she helps people.

Online support

Approach-led online therapy for trauma and relationships

Laura blends attachment-based work with client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people remotely. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps when relationship trust or intimacy feels difficult. Client-centred therapy focuses on respectful, non-judgemental listening so a person feels heard and understood while they find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process can combine approaches over time as new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief ongoing contact, or want flexible timing. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around daily life.
