About Laura
Laura Hine is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with people who feel stuck in unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Common concerns she sees include anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties, as well as parenting and family-related stress.
She draws on several therapeutic approaches and keeps her practice focused on attachment and trauma. Laura adapts how she works to match each person's goals and circumstances. That may mean looking at current patterns, early relationships, or practical ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Her background includes work with an agency that supports survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. She has also supported young people with special needs and emotional difficulties while working with the Priory Group. These roles brought frequent exposure to trauma-related work and varied presenting problems.
In sessions she combines person-centred ideas with psychodynamic, relational and developmental perspectives. This helps people understand how past experiences continue to influence present behaviour and relationships. She also uses cognitive and narrative tools when they suit someone’s goals.
Laura continues professional development through extra training in trauma-informed practice. She aims to help people develop clearer ways of relating to others, manage intense emotions, and make practical changes that reduce daily strain.
If you are mainly concerned with parenting stress, family tensions, trauma, anxiety or feeling unable to move forward, Laura offers a compassionate route to talk these through and consider next steps.
How sessions work
How attachment and cognitive approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice these patterns, practice different responses and talk through difficult interactions with others.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In remote sessions CBT tools can help people spot unhelpful thinking, try small experiments and build practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood or parenting stress.
Laura treats choice of approach as a joint task. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those aims. That includes checking whether a relational, narrative or cognitive style feels most useful and adjusting as needs change.
Practical online benefits include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. If you need a shorter check-in or a quieter time between commitments, those options can be discussed when confirming formats. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep a regular appointment while juggling home and work life.
