Laura Turba , BACP

Laura Turba is a qualified counsellor and children's counsellor who practices in a person-centred way, tailoring sessions to the pace and needs of each individual. With three years of experience working across a variety of agencies, she has supported people from diverse ages and backgrounds with a wide range of presenting issues.

She routinely uses score-related assessments to monitor progress and says she has achieved strong outcomes when working in a person-centred framework. Her clinical work has included suicide and self-harm prevention, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma, and she is trained to work with complex and painful life experiences. Her stated aim is to help clients process difficult events while keeping the client as the focus and working at a level and speed that feels right for them.

As a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows recognised professional standards for counselling in the United Kingdom. Laura seeks to create a supportive atmosphere in which people can begin to heal, and she offers flexible arrangements to accommodate family and work commitments. Prospective clients are encouraged to raise any concerns about starting or maintaining therapy so practical solutions can be explored together.

Combining person-centred, emotion-focused, and mindful work online

Laura integrates client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness approaches into her online practice. Client-centred therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental, empathetic relationship and supports people to explore their experiences at their own pace; it is helpful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and processing emotional responses, which can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and trauma-related patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation, offering practical ways to manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to shape a plan that reflects individual needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor techniques and the pace of work so therapy feels right for each person.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations, while allowing the therapist and client to focus on practical, goal-directed work together.
