Laura Turba

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor who takes a person-centred approach to therapy. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels right for them. Laura aims to make the first steps simple and compassionate for someone feeling overwhelmed.

She has worked across a range of agencies and with diverse backgrounds and presenting concerns. That experience has included supporting people through suicidal thoughts, self-harm, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma. Laura uses plain language and practical tools to help people tackle painful memories and intense feelings.

Her practice focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with issues around relationships, parenting, grief, addictions and career changes. Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and long-term health or caregiver strain.

Laura draws on client-centred ways of working alongside Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the person’s priorities guiding each step. She is comfortable discussing worries about starting or keeping up with therapy and will work through practical barriers with the client.

Based in the United Kingdom, Laura offers help in English and accepts international clients. Her practice works with subscription sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist arrangements.

How Laura’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects back what is heard and helps the person decide the pace and direction of the work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and self-regulation. It is useful for strong feelings like anger, fear and grief. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help with stress, anxiety and managing difficult sensations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and together they will decide what fits best for the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion guides whether sessions use more reflective listening, emotion-focused work, practical skills, or trauma-sensitive strategies.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people in different countries can work together, and the therapist aims to be flexible around family and work commitments when scheduling sessions.
