Laura Turba, BACP

Laura Turba is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She keeps the client at the heart of each session and moves at a pace that feels right for the person. She uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people tackle difficult feelings and life events.

She has three years of experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. That background underpins her practical approach to common and complex concerns. She has worked across different agencies and with a wide range of presenting issues.

Laura has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with trauma and abuse, self-harm and suicide prevention, addiction and eating difficulties. Relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting pressures and career stress are also within her remit.

Her work blends client-centred care with approaches drawn from emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused methods. Sessions typically focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps towards those goals.

Practicalities matter to her. She understands family and work commitments can complicate therapy, so she aims to be flexible and to discuss any worries about starting or keeping appointments. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Laura draws on client-centred therapy which puts the person’s needs and pace first, helping them speak through what matters and decide the next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with emotions in relationships and personal difficulties, aiming to shift unhelpful interaction patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then choose methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to your situation rather than applying a single technique.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for appointments during a lunch break or after work. It can also let people take part without needing to be on camera, or use shorter check-ins when time is tight. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused conversations to an online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
