Laine George is a counsellor who brings three years of practical experience to her work. She holds BACP registration, which shows she meets professional standards, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with a focus on listening first and tailoring support to each person.

She follows a relational, person-centred approach and draws on several other methods as needed. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on building a trusting working relationship.

Background and approach

Laine adapts tools from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to suit each situation. Laine commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, grief, anger and intimacy-related concerns.

Relationship strains, parenting pressures and self-esteem difficulties are other areas she addresses. In practice she keeps sessions practical and down to earth. Expect to talk through recent problems, notice patterns in thinking or behaviour, and try small changes between sessions.

Mindfulness exercises, thought-challenging and brief goal-focused work may all be used when relevant. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, with arrangements made via an online subscription. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them.

How these approaches work online and in sessions

Laine draws on person-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online work. Person-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and accepting the person as they are; it helps when someone needs a careful, non-judgemental space to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns by trying practical changes and different ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Laine will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as understanding grows.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more flexible, shorter contacts. These options support continuity and make it simpler to keep appointments despite work, travel or family commitments.
