About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She offers person-centred work and sees people for issues that include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem and depression.

She has worked in a range of agencies and with people from varied backgrounds. That experience includes supporting people reporting suicidal thoughts and self-harm, and offering help after sexual abuse and childhood trauma. Laura uses assessment scores when helpful to track progress and guide sessions.

Her way of working keeps the client in focus. Sessions move at a pace the person is comfortable with. She aims to make practical changes alongside talking about difficult experiences.

Laura blends several approaches to suit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centred listening, emotionally-focused ideas about relationships, mindfulness skills and solution-focused techniques to support coping and clarity. Trauma-focused tools are used when past experiences need direct attention.

She notices practical barriers to attending and is prepared to talk about scheduling and commitments. International clients who speak English are accepted, and she asks people to confirm current session options before booking. To start, readers are asked to use the service button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions

Laura uses client-centred work which focuses on listening, understanding and following the pace the person wants; this helps when someone needs steady, supportive conversation about current problems. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how feelings affect behaviour, which can help with relationship stress and attachment concerns.

Mindfulness techniques are included to build simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking. These approaches are described and tried together with the client so they can decide what helps most. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one single model.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so clients should confirm available online options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around family and work, shorter check-ins when time is limited, and not needing to travel to appointments. These aspects can make it easier to keep therapy in a busy week while still using the methods described above.
