Laine George
Compassionate counsellor focused on relationships and change
About Laine
Laine George is a counsellor and psychotherapist who draws on three years of practice to support people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Laine aims to create a trusting space where clients can talk without feeling judged and explore what matters to them.
She follows a relational, person-centred approach. That means conversations start with the client’s experience and values.
Background and approach
Laine adapts her methods to each person rather than following a single formula. Clients can expect a calm, listening presence and practical steps when they are needed. Laine uses tools from attachment-based work to understand how relationships shape feelings and reactions.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful patterns and try small behavioural experiments. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit the person’s goals. Her background includes running a independent practice and working in secondary schools, so she is used to meeting people from different walks of life.
Laine describes herself as continually learning and responsive to each person’s needs. She encourages open conversation about what someone hopes to change. Sessions form a collaborative process.
Laine works with clients to set practical, achievable steps and reviews progress together. She provides support for a wide range of concerns including relationships, parenting pressures, grief, self-esteem, trauma and sleep and eating difficulties.

How these approaches work online
Laine commonly uses attachment-based ideas to map how past and current relationships affect emotions and behaviour. This approach helps people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful when dealing with intimacy, grief or ongoing relationship stress.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing anger by breaking issues into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laine will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Together they decide what to try and review progress, adapting the plan as things change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let people see facial expressions and read body language for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit around work breaks and lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules while still working through relationship patterns, anxiety, grief and day-to-day challenges with a registered professional.
