About Laura
Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works in a person-centred way, letting each person set the pace and focus of their sessions. Laura lists life purpose among the concerns she supports people with, alongside stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and self-esteem issues.
She has worked across different agencies and with a wide range of backgrounds and presenting issues. That experience includes supporting people through suicidal feelings, self-harm concerns, sexual abuse and childhood trauma using outcome measures to track progress. Laura says her work is practical and focused on what each person needs at that moment.
Sessions are described as flexible to fit around family and work commitments. She encourages people to raise any worries about starting or keeping up with sessions so they can agree a workable plan together. The emphasis is on moving at a comfortable pace rather than following a fixed timetable.
Laura uses several therapeutic approaches in her work. These include client-centred methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, solution-focused conversations and trauma-focused strategies. She draws on these to help with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, ADHD and coping with life changes.
People who value direct, down-to-earth support may find this style helpful. The first step is to select the online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the approach fits their situation.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Laura commonly combines client-centred work with Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centred work focuses on the person's priorities and lets them guide the pace; it suits people who need a steady, conversational approach to sort out what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and work with strong emotions that affect how they connect. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings, which can help with anxiety, stress and ongoing emotional overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. She will discuss your goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest ways of working that fit. If something doesn't feel right, that can be reviewed and adjusted as the work continues.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around family and work commitments and making it easier to keep regular appointments. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them keep continuity of care and make it simpler to attend shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions when life is busy.
