About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor who works in a person-centred way, adapting to each person’s pace and priorities. She aims to put the person at the centre of sessions and to create a calm space for people to talk through difficult experiences. Laura has three years of practice and describes a flexible approach to accommodate work and family demands.

She has worked across a range of agencies and with people from varied backgrounds and ages. That experience has included supporting people after sexual abuse, childhood trauma, and with suicidal thoughts or self-harm concerns. Laura uses assessment tools where helpful to track progress and to shape ongoing work.

Her approach draws on several methods to match what a person needs. Client-Centred Therapy guides the relationship focus, while Trauma-Focused Therapy and Emotionally-Focused techniques can help when past harm affects current feelings and relationships. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas are used for short-term coping and practical steps.

Laura often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship or parenting worries. She also lists attention to issues such as ADHD, attachment and body image among her areas of work. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with pacing set by the person in therapy.

People considering therapy are invited to raise any practical concerns about scheduling. Laura notes she will work with clients to manage sessions around other commitments and to find an approach that fits their goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, empathetic relationship. The counsellor keeps the person’s needs central and follows their pace, which helps when working through painful memories or current stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in feelings and relationships, helping people notice and shift recurring emotional interactions that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping, useful for anxiety and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try methods that suit their situation. If something does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so work stays useful and manageable.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone join without being on camera when they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals often use assessments and short-term tools online to track progress and set practical next steps.
