About Laine
Laine George is a counsellor who works from a relational, person-centred framework. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries and parenting concerns. Laine holds BACP accreditation, which is shown on the BACP register, and she draws on a mix of therapeutic methods to match each person she meets.
Laine describes her work as integrative. She adapts techniques from different approaches to fit the needs of the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational, with time spent on understanding how relationships and daily routines affect wellbeing. She has three years of experience running a independent practice and working in secondary schools. That background means she is used to meeting people from many walks of life and hearing a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and issues with sleep or eating.
In therapy Laine helps people explore their patterns and try small changes that fit their life. She pays close attention to how people relate to others, and uses that to guide gentle shifts in thinking and behaviour. The aim is to find realistic steps that feel manageable.
Laine offers online work via video and phone, plus live chat and text messaging. To begin, people use the site matching process to share some basic information and then schedule sessions that fit their routine.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Laine blends attachment-based and client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to shape online sessions. Attachment-based approaches focus on how early and current relationships influence feelings and behaviour, which can help with intimacy, relationship strain and parenting. Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the centre, offering a supportive space to talk through worries and decide next steps together. Cognitive behavioural tools look at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offer simple exercises to try between sessions, which suit issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Laine works collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and daily life. She will discuss options, try techniques together and adjust the plan as needs change, so the work stays practical and focused on what matters most to the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice if internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief reflections, journalling-style notes or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to continue work between meetings.
