About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and workplace conflict. She also offers life coaching to help set and reach practical goals.
Tuba uses a person-centred approach in sessions. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns in their feelings and behaviour. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters now. She aims to make the work straightforward and understandable.
Her practice draws on a mix of therapeutic methods, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioural techniques, Imago relationship ideas, and client-centred work. These methods are used to look at emotions, attachment patterns, and everyday coping strategies. Clients may talk through relationship patterns, emotional reactivity, self‑esteem struggles, or grief reactions.
Tuba also has experience supporting people with addictions, self-harm, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and sexuality-related issues including BDSM and kink. She speaks English and Turkish and can work with international clients.
Her sessions emphasise clear goals and practical steps alongside emotional exploration. People who want help naming difficult feelings, improving communication, or setting achievable goals may find this a useful match. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns to change how people relate. It helps when emotional reactions are hard to name or when relationship patterns keep repeating.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and develop new patterns of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience and pacing. The counsellor listens closely and supports the client to make sense of their feelings and decide on practical next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will collaborate on what methods to use as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If a quieter environment, less screen time or a brief phone check-in suits you better, mention this when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
