About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and related issues. Laura uses a person-centred way of working and adapts pace to what each client is ready for.

She meets people who bring a wide range of difficulties, from self-harm and suicidal thoughts to sexual abuse and childhood trauma. She has worked across several agencies and with varied backgrounds. Laura has used score-related assessments as part of her practice to track progress.

Sessions focus on the person’s priorities. Laura aims to keep the client at the centre and to move at a pace that feels manageable. She will talk through safety concerns and coping strategies when needed, including work around self-harm prevention.

Her practice covers emotional and relationship concerns such as grief, intimacy-related problems, communication and attachment issues. She also supports people facing life changes, caregiving stress, chronic illness or challenges linked to body image and addiction.

Laura draws on client-centred work alongside emotionally-focused and trauma approaches, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She adapts these methods to what each person finds helpful and practical. Her stated goal is to help people work through difficult experiences while keeping the client’s needs central.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead and adjusts pace and topics to what feels workable. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and patterns in relationships; done via video or phone, it encourages practical ways to try different responses and to practise new interactions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and grounding exercises to reduce stress and build awareness, which can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy proceeds so sessions stay relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Remote work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work when life or location changes, while the therapist and client collaborate on practical scheduling that suits everyday routines.
