About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP-registered counsellor with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred support and lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and a wide range of life changes.

Laura explains things in straightforward language and works at a pace the client feels comfortable with. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She has experience responding to self-harm and suicidal thinking, and has worked with people affected by sexual abuse and childhood trauma.

Her background includes roles at several agencies where she supported people from varied ages and backgrounds. She is used to using score-related assessments to track progress and to guide conversations about safety and coping.

In practice she combines person-centred listening with interventions drawn from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness. That means time is spent naming hard-to-describe feelings, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying small changes to see what helps.

Laura is flexible about session scheduling to fit around family and work commitments. She accepts international clients and runs sessions that use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It can help when relationships or attachment patterns feel hard to change. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work and uses reflective listening so clients can clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to manage stress and notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so sessions remain relevant and useful.

The profile does not specify particular session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions possible across time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and expected session length when you complete the matching questionnaire.
