About Laura
Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works in a person-centred way, helping people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship issues. She also supports people facing grief, career doubts, ADHD challenges and questions about intimacy and identity.
Laura uses a practical, down-to-earth style and moves at a pace the client is comfortable with. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that fit into ordinary life. She has worked across different agencies and with a wide range of backgrounds and presenting concerns.
Her work has included using score-related assessments to track progress. Laura has experience supporting people through suicidal feelings, self-harm concerns, sexual abuse and childhood trauma and has worked on safety planning and crisis-informed steps alongside longer term therapy. She aims to keep the person as the focus while addressing immediate risks when they arise.
Clients can raise practical barriers such as family or work commitments and Laura offers flexible scheduling to help manage that. She encourages people to speak openly about worries in starting or maintaining sessions so arrangements can be adjusted as needed.
People often come to her feeling stuck after big life changes, behind on goals or overwhelmed by early-adult responsibilities. Her approach is straightforward: listen, clarify what is most urgent, and try methods that can reduce pressure and build clearer next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. Online sessions allow that same responsive style, with the counsellor following the client's pace and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift patterns in close relationships by working through emotions and interactions; online sessions can be used to practise new ways of relating and to reflect on how relationships feel. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and calm anxiety; brief guided exercises can fit into an online session and be practised between meetings.Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The counsellor will check what matters most, try methods that suit the client, and review progress together. That shared process helps shape whether sessions remain focused on short-term coping, deeper processing, or a mix of both.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or busy days, and to use shorter check-ins or longer weekly meetings when needed. It also allows accessing a registered BACP counsellor from a different location and can reduce travel time, helping therapy slot into everyday life.
