Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor who offers a person-centred way of working. She keeps the client at the heart of sessions and moves at a pace the client is comfortable with. Laura aims to create a calm, steady space where people can begin to talk about difficult experiences.

She has three years' professional experience across a range of agencies. That work exposed her to many different backgrounds and presenting concerns.

Background and approach

Laura has spent time supporting people through trauma, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicidal thoughts using outcome measures to track progress. Her approach focuses on listening and tailoring support to each person. She guides conversations so clients can make sense of painful events and build coping skills.

Practical tools and gentle reflection are used alongside open listening. Common issues she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting and family concerns, addiction, body image and eating issues. She also works with people affected by chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment worries, and attention difference challenges such as ADHD.

Sessions may address career strain, compassion fatigue, anger and communication problems. Laura also supports people exploring sexual orientation and LGBT-related concerns. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

People can expect flexible scheduling and practical conversation about fitting therapy around work and family. Laura encourages anyone with worries about starting or keeping up sessions to raise those concerns so they can be worked through together.

How Laura's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from the client’s viewpoint. It helps people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through painful experiences and to decide what changes to make.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how these affect close relationships. It is useful for those wanting to improve connection, manage distressing emotional reactions or repair relational rifts.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. It can help with anxiety, stress and recurring negative thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person. That way the plan evolves from conversation and collaboration rather than being fixed at the start.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or fitting therapy around a busy day. These options make it simpler to maintain regular work while balancing family and other commitments.
