Laura Hine , BACP, NCPS

Laura Hine is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel less stuck. She aims to make sense of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of everyday life. Laura speaks plainly and works to build a trusting conversation so people can take small, manageable steps forward.

She uses a mix of therapies and adapts her style to each person's needs. That approach helps when anxiety, depression or past trauma make daily tasks harder. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, body image concerns and parenting stress.

Laura has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has worked alongside services for domestic and sexual abuse and with young people who have special needs and emotional difficulties. These roles have influenced how she responds to trauma and attachment issues.

In sessions she encourages people to tell their stories and to test different ways of thinking and behaving. She aims for concrete steps you can try between meetings. Therapy sessions may include talking through relationship patterns, practising new communication, or reframing negative self-talk.

People can access therapy online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Laura accepts international clients and works in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.

Using attachment and CBT approaches online

Laura often draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connections affect current relationships. This approach helps people understand patterns in closeness, trust and conflict and can be useful for intimacy problems, abandonment concerns and relationship stress.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments. CBT supports change by testing new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions match the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people use visual cues and work in a focused session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing and want ongoing, brief contact between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
