About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell combines eight years of clinical practice with a person-centred attitude. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains and grief. Tuba also supports those struggling with addictions, parenting pressures, career worries and money-related stress. She speaks English and Turkish and practises in the United Kingdom under the BACP professional credential.
Her background includes life coaching alongside counselling, so goal-setting is part of her work when clients want it. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding. Tuba adapts the pace and style to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns and repair important relationships. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she builds trust and explores early relationship patterns that still affect people today. These methods are used to address issues like intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and communication problems.
Tuba describes herself as warm and empathic and stresses kindness and respect in the room. She will work with clients to set manageable, realistic goals and revisit them as progress unfolds. Her style aims to be down-to-earth, responsive and practical.

How key approaches guide online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship experiences shape current feelings and reactions, and helps people understand patterns that affect trust and intimacy. It can be useful for those dealing with abandonment worries, attachment issues and repeated relationship conflicts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, stress and many day-to-day problems where changing routines and thinking helps.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most helpful. This collaborative decision can be revisited if your goals change or progress stalls.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Because the precise session formats are not specified here, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer approaches and adapt exercises so therapy sessions are practical and relevant to everyday challenges.
