Laura Turba, BACP

Laura Turba is a counsellor with a Bachelor-level BACP credential and three years of practice. She works in a person-centred way, meeting people where they are and moving at a pace they feel ready for. Her approach aims to keep the person central to the work and to create a steady space for tackling difficult feelings and experiences.

She has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as work around trauma and abuse. Her background includes helping with self-harm prevention and sexual abuse recovery, and she has used score-related assessments in her practice. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy issues, addiction and body image problems.

Laura uses a mix of approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred listening, emotionally-focused ideas about relationships, mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps to help people find practical ways forward. Trauma-focused work is used where past events need careful attention.

Sessions aim to be flexible to fit around family and work commitments. Laura encourages people to raise any worries about starting or keeping up with therapy so options can be discussed. She also works with issues linked to ADHD, attachment and abandonment, and carers’ stress.

She offers services from the United Kingdom and speaks English. International clients are accepted; prospective clients should confirm session arrangements before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and name emotions so they can change how they relate. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as understanding grows.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It also makes regular contact possible for people living far apart from services. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often tailor timing and tools to each person’s life, so practical arrangements are discussed at first contact to find what will work best.
