About Laura
Laura Hine offers practical, person-focused therapy that helps people who feel stuck by difficult thoughts or patterns. She draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person and aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. Laura has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials in the United Kingdom.
Many people come to her because anxiety, low mood or past trauma makes daily life hard. She helps people who struggle to connect with others, feel overwhelmed, or who notice repeating behaviour that holds them back.
How Laura works
Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and finding manageable ways to change them. Her way of working mixes client-centred listening with ideas from attachment theory and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and narrative methods to help people reframe thoughts and try new behaviours.
The approach is adapted to each person’s needs rather than following a single method. Laura has worked alongside services for domestic and sexual abuse and with young people with additional needs in clinical settings. That background informs how she supports people around trauma, relationships and emotional regulation.
She continues to update her skills through additional training. People can expect sessions that emphasise clear goals, practical steps and time to talk through difficult feelings. Laura aims to make therapy a place where people can test new ways of thinking and behaving and slowly feel less stuck.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; it helps when mistrust, fear of abandonment or difficulty forming close connections are causing distress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and space to talk so people can find their own solutions and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then shape the sessions together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted if something isn’t working or if needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you work face to face from different locations, phone sessions suit quieter audio conversations or when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or when writing helps express difficult thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while still using attachment, person-centred and CBT techniques effectively.
