About Laura
Laura Calabro is a HCPC-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. She has four years working in the NHS and nine years practising in Italy. She helps people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem concerns and depression.
Her way of working is direct and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what feels hard now and on building small skills to cope. She uses talking therapy alongside approaches that address past wounds and current patterns. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping, not quick fixes.
Clients who come for help with anxiety, stress and addiction often focus on patterns that repeat in relationships. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment worries shape choices and feelings. That makes it easier to spot repeating cycles and try different ways of relating.
When trauma is part of the picture, she can draw on trauma-focused methods and EMDR-style work to reduce overwhelming memories. For people struggling with emotion regulation and impulsive behaviours, techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are available to practice during sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian and can include people based outside the UK. Fees vary by location and are billed via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment via the online options button.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive actions. Online DBT sessions often focus on practising breathing, grounding and coping skills that can be used between meetings.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, works with distressing memories by linking them with guided bilateral stimulation and new information. When used remotely it still centres on reducing the charge around traumatic memories and improving daily functioning.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels tolerable, then suggest an approach or mix of approaches. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Some formats can make shorter check-ins easier and others let people avoid being on camera when that helps them focus. Confirm the current session options before booking so the chosen format works with your schedule and needs.
