About Laine
Laine George is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from a relational, person-centred stance. She holds BACP and has three years of practice experience. Laine aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them and begin to untangle difficult feelings.
She describes her work as integrative, drawing on different approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions can include talking, practical coping ideas, and reflective exercises tailored to each person. The therapist emphasises the importance of relationships in shaping emotional life and brings that focus into conversations in the room.
Laine has worked in secondary schools and runs a private practice in the United Kingdom. That mix of settings has given experience with a wide range of people and everyday problems. She continues to learn from each person she meets and adapts her approach as needed.
Typical concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, parenting strains, self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, sleeping and eating difficulties, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small steps and build practical ways to feel steadier.
To start, Laine invites prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. This helps match practical goals and find a workable plan for meeting times and next steps.
How different approaches shape online work
Laine draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how important relationships affect feeling safe and understood; this can help when worry, grief or difficulties in close connections feel stuck. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Finally, her client-centred perspective keeps the conversation directed by each person's experience and priorities.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Laine treats approach selection as collaborative - she will listen to goals, try things out together and adjust methods so they fit the person's needs and preferences rather than follow a fixed plan.
If you are considering online therapy, please check the session options before booking because current formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people use practical exercises between meetings, such as mindfulness practices or brief behaviour experiments, so progress can continue between sessions.
