Laura Hine, BACP, NCPS

Laura Hine is an integrative psychotherapist and traumatologist who helps people move past unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns that leave life feeling stuck. She works with a broad range of emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma and difficulties forming and maintaining healthy relationships, and she keeps current with training to ensure evidence-based support.

She draws on a variety of theoretical perspectives - including person-centred, psychodynamic, relational and developmental ideas - with a specific focus on trauma and attachment. This flexible approach allows her to adapt the way she works to suit each person and their therapy goals, whether the priority is exploring relational patterns, processing traumatic experiences or building practical coping skills.

Alongside her private practice, she has worked with an agency specialising in domestic and sexual abuse and trauma and supports young people with special needs and emotional difficulties through the Priory Group. She regularly undertakes additional training and specialises in trauma and evidence-based trauma therapies. Laura holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating registration with professional counselling and psychotherapy bodies, and has 7 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Hine commonly integrates attachment-based therapy, client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy into her online work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people address difficulties with trust, intimacy and emotional connection. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship, giving people space to lead the conversation and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to match the individual rather than applying a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, connect across distances and continue work during transitions, while allowing the therapist to tailor the format to what helps the client engage most comfortably.
