Laura Hine, BACP, NCPS

Laura Hine is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has seven years of professional experience supporting adults with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and trauma-related concerns. People contact her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to break repeating patterns in thoughts and behaviour.

She uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred ideas with psychodynamic and attachment-focused thinking. That means sessions often look at early relationship patterns and how they show up now. Laura pays attention to how trauma can shape reactions and relationships, and she brings methods that help people understand and change those patterns.

In practice she keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what is most troubling and then works collaboratively to try different ways of addressing it. That can include talking through recent problems, reflecting on past relationships, and trying practical strategies to reduce anxiety or manage difficult emotions.

Laura has worked in specialist services for domestic and sexual abuse and has experience supporting young people with special needs at the Priory Group. This background informs how she understands complex trauma, attachment issues and codependency patterns without relying on quick fixes.

Clients often explore boundaries, people-pleasing, issues around intimacy and patterns of dependence. She also supports problems such as grief, addiction-related concerns, career stress and ADHD-related difficulties. Her approach is steady, relational and focused on helping people make concrete changes in how they relate to themselves and others.
