About Laura

Laura Turba is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She uses the pace and style that each individual is ready for. Laura practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership.

She has three years of experience working across different agencies and with diverse presenting issues. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, as well as everyday difficulties such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also helps with parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addiction and adjustments after major life changes. In sessions Laura focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded, with space to talk through painful memories and to build small, manageable steps forward.

She uses approaches such as emotionally-focused work, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas alongside a client-centred stance. Laura offers flexible ways of meeting to fit work and family commitments. She is experienced using rating scales during work to track progress and to shape the next steps together.

People who come to her often need help with attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, communication problems, or neurodiverse issues such as autism and Asperger Syndrome. Her aim is to help people work through difficult life experiences at a pace they find comfortable.

She encourages open discussion about how therapy fits around daily life and will work with each person to agree a way of meeting that suits them.

Ways of working Laura names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Laura’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and creating space for them to speak at their own pace. Online sessions let that openness continue whether on video, phone or text, so the person sets the rhythm and topics.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and attachment. In remote work this can involve guided conversations to notice feelings, and exercises to try between sessions that strengthen emotional connection with self and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Laura treats this as a collaborative process. She will talk through options with each person, check what feels helpful, and adjust methods to match goals and preferences. That way the plan evolves from session to session.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when fitting a session between other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy fit everyday life.
