About Laine

Laine George works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, depression and coping with life changes. She uses an integrative approach guided by person-centred principles and relational ideas to discuss whatever is worrying you and help find practical ways forward. Laine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years' experience.

Laine trained as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and draws on a variety of methods when needed. She describes her practice as grounded in person-centred core principles, which means the focus is on the person and their relationships rather than on labels or diagnoses. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with time to talk through patterns, feelings and immediate problems.

In practice she may use techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness to help with stress and sleep. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship and intimacy issues. Solution-focused techniques are used for clearer, short-term goals when that fits the client's aims.

Laine has worked in private practice and in secondary schools since qualifying. That experience includes talking with people from many backgrounds and different age groups. She notes that she continues to learn as she works and refers to her entry on the BACP register for professional details.

If you are considering counselling, Laine encourages starting with an initial session to discuss what you want to work on and agree practical next steps. She offers appointments in the UK and conducts sessions in English.

How Laine uses different approaches in online work

Laine commonly works from person-centred and attachment-based ideas and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques as needed. Person-centred work focuses on the client's perspective and relationships, allowing the counsellor to listen and reflect rather than direct. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices may be introduced to help manage stress and improve sleep by training attention on the present moment. These approaches are practical and are chosen according to the issue being worked on.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree which methods to try together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to make therapy more accessible while still focusing on practical changes and relationship patterns.
