About Laura

Laura Turba works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties using a person-centred approach that moves at the client's pace. She is a BACP member and has three years' experience working with a range of presenting issues and backgrounds.

She offers straightforward, person-centred counselling where the client sets the pace and focus. Sessions are aimed at practical coping, talking through past experiences, and managing urgent risks such as self-harm and suicidal feelings. The counsellor says she uses outcome measures to track progress and adapt work as needed.

Laura has experience across several settings and with different age groups and backgrounds. That experience includes supporting people through sexual abuse, childhood trauma and other complex issues. She describes working flexibly to fit around family and work commitments.

Her approach combines person-centred work with other methods as appropriate. These include emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships, trauma-focused techniques for processing difficult memories, solution-focused steps to set achievable goals, and mindfulness strategies to manage stress and emotions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Laura accepts international clients. She notes that costs vary with location and that sessions are delivered via a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's own experience at the centre and focuses on listening, acceptance and working at a pace the person is comfortable with; it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and make their own choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns of emotion and interaction in relationships and can help with attachment and intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to notice thoughts and bodily reactions and is useful for stress, anxiety and managing intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss preferences, immediate goals and longer-term aims and will suggest methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also mean using exercises and mindfulness practices between sessions to support progress.
