Laura TurbaBACP

Laura Turba is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and aims to follow each person's pace. She introduces herself simply and focuses on supporting people through hard experiences. Her approach puts the client at the centre of the work and adapts to practical life demands such as family or work commitments.

She has three years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Laura has worked across different agencies and helped people with a wide range of concerns. That background includes work on self-harm and suicide prevention, and responses to sexual abuse and childhood trauma.

In sessions she uses a person-centred stance, which means she listens and follows what matters most to the client. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at relationships and attachment, and mindfulness to help with stress and anxiety. Solution-focused tools are used when people want practical steps to try between meetings.

Laura aims to make therapy fit into everyday life. She invites people to raise worries about starting or keeping sessions and will try to work through scheduling or other practical problems. Her style is collaborative and steady, with a focus on helping people move through painful events at a pace they can manage.

People coming to her can expect straightforward language, flexible planning, and attention to safety when discussing distressing experiences. She supports those wanting to address grief, parenting strains, identity questions, addictions, ADHD and a broad range of emotional concerns.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and following what the person finds most important, helping people set the pace and topics in sessions. It can be useful for building trust and talking through painful experiences without pressure.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping people understand emotional responses and improve how they connect with others. This approach is often used for difficulties rooted in closeness, loss or recurring relationship pain.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and bring clarity when emotions feel overwhelming. It can help with anxiety, low mood and managing strong feelings between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist decide together if adjustments are needed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people choose shorter or longer appointments as life requires, and support steady progress while juggling family and work commitments.
