About Laura
Laura Turba is a counsellor who practises in a person-centred way. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She aims to work at a pace the client feels comfortable with and adapts sessions to fit practical commitments.
Laura has worked across a variety of agencies and with people from different backgrounds. Her three years of professional experience include supporting people through self-harm and suicide prevention, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma.
Background and approach
She uses structured measures at times to track progress and guide planning. In sessions she keeps the work straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
She also offers tools from mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to reduce immediate distress and build coping skills. Laura pays attention to relationships and attachment themes. She can help people handle relationship strain, intimacy concerns, family tensions and the emotional fallout of grief or major life changes.
Issues such as addiction, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress are also within her focus. She works with LGBT people and supports those facing career pressure, anger, or compulsive behaviours. Laura accepts international clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Laura blends person-centred work with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Person-centred work means the session follows your pace and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so you can find clarity. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and reshape patterns in close relationships, which can reduce anxiety tied to attachment and intimacy. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to calm the body and increase awareness of unhelpful thoughts, useful for stress and worry.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the journey. She will collaborate with you to decide what feels most useful, checking in as you go and adjusting methods to match your goals and preferences. That way the plan stays practical and grounded in what you want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, follow-ups or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options help make sessions more flexible around work, family and everyday commitments.
