About Laura
Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She uses a person-centred approach that lets each person set the pace and direction of their work. Laura aims to create a steady, caring space where people can begin to address painful experiences and current stresses.
She has three years of clinical experience and has worked across a variety of agencies. That work exposed her to many different backgrounds and presenting issues, and she has supported people through trauma, sexual abuse, self-harm concerns, and suicidal thoughts.
Background and approach
Laura focuses on keeping the client at the centre of decisions about therapy. Her practice blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and mindfulness skills. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas to help people manage symptoms and find practical steps forward.
Sessions aim to be adaptable so therapy fits around work and family life. Laura often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting worries, eating and body image concerns, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also offers support around attachment, abandonment, ADHD and difficulties linked to chronic illness or caring roles.
Sessions are available in English and she accepts people from outside the UK. Appointments can be arranged by using the site booking flow and matching questionnaire, after which timing is scheduled to suit the individual.

Online support
How emotion-led and practical work translates online
Laura integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions in the moment and how they shape relationships and self-view, which can help when grief, intimacy or attachment issues are present. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions are guided by the person's concerns and pace, placing emphasis on being heard and understood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person day to day.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus.
