Laine George

Laine George is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from a relational, person-centred stance. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of clinical experience in both private practice and school settings. Laine aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger and other concerns.

Laine describes her work as integrative. She draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than using a single fixed method. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, practical steps that feel manageable.

She places weight on the role of relationships in wellbeing and listens for how connections shape feelings and behaviours. That perspective often guides conversations about grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, and relationship problems.

Laine uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work to help people identify patterns and try out different responses. Mindfulness-based strategies are offered to support stress, sleeping or eating difficulties by building simple daily habits.

Laine has worked with a wide range of people in schools and in her clinic, and she continues to learn from each person she meets. She notes her listing on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy register for further details.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Laine uses a blend of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and test small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and on mindfulness practices to build simple routines for stress, sleep or eating. Together these approaches aim to be practical and tailored to each person’s situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laine will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try different methods to see what fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people try therapeutic tools at home between sessions, so changes can be practised in everyday routines.
