About Laura
Laura Hine is a counsellor who uses a narrative-informed approach to help people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. She aims to make sense of feelings like anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship strain in clear, manageable ways. Her style is practical and person-focused, with short-term goals and steady reflection.
Laura holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years of professional experience. She adapts methods to suit the person in front of her, drawing on client-centred listening and psychodynamic thinking.
Background and approach
That means sessions often look like careful conversation, noticing patterns from the past and how they shape today. Laura pays particular attention to attachment and trauma when these are relevant to a person’s difficulties. In practice she combines different ideas so therapy does not feel stuck in one mould.
Cognitive approaches may be used to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Narrative work helps separate people from the problems they face. The aim is to build clearer choices and new ways to respond to stressors.
Her background includes work related to trauma and supporting people who have experienced abuse. She has worked with services for people with additional needs and continues regular professional development. That mix of experience informs a steady, thoughtful way of working.
Sessions are offered online across video, phone, live chat and text messaging. International clients may be supported in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy process.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Laura directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Laura commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people step back from problem-saturated stories and see different possibilities. Narrative work often involves telling events differently, noticing influences, and trying new narratives that allow for choice and agency.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions. This can help people understand why certain situations cause intense worry or distance and to practise new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean blending narrative conversations with brief cognitive strategies or attachment-focused reflection as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper dialogue and visual cues, phone is straightforward when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging suits short reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping continuity even when schedules change.
