About Laine
Laine George is a counsellor who draws on relational and person-centred principles. She opens sessions with a calm, non-judgemental stance and aims to make people feel heard. Laine uses a blend of approaches so she can adapt to each person's needs and preferences.
She works with common struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and issues with eating or sleep.
How Laine works
Her practice includes support around self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes. Laine trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has practised for three years. She has run a independent practice and worked in secondary schools, which has given her experience with people from a range of backgrounds.
In sessions she mixes person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas also inform how she helps people understand patterns and feel less reactive. Laine offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and she does not work with international clients. She sees people across the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

How her approaches fit with online therapy
Laine draws on person-centred and attachment-based ideas to create a sense of safety and mutual respect in sessions. Person-centred work focuses on being listened to and accepted, which helps when talking through sensitive issues like grief, relationship stress and self-esteem. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour, and they can be useful when people notice repeating relationship difficulties.She also uses cognitive behavioural methods to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can improve mood and sleep. These approaches work alongside solution-focused techniques that aim for practical, achievable steps rather than long plans. Finding the right mix is part of the work, and the therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.
Online therapy with Laine can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are close to in-person meetings, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging can work for brief reflections between sessions. This flexibility helps people access consistent support while keeping therapy practical and manageable.
