About Laura
Laura Calabro is a HCPC-registered counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience split between the UK and Italy. She has worked in the NHS for four years and practised in Italy for nine years. She aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel unsure about therapy and meets each person with respect and compassion.
Her work commonly addresses relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. She also helps people who are dealing with stress, life changes, grief, addictions and questions about intimacy. Codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns are among the issues she attends to in sessions.
Laura uses a blend of approaches to suit different needs. These include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and psychodynamic work. She explains methods plainly and helps clients understand what to expect in sessions.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals. Conversations and treatment plans are adjusted where needed, with an emphasis on practical steps and emotional processing. She will listen, reflect, and offer tools you can try between meetings.
Laura works in English and Italian and is open to working with international clients. If you are thinking about starting, she invites you to take the next step and explore whether her way of working feels like a fit.
How Laura’s approaches translate to online therapy
Laura combines several approaches that can translate well to a remote setting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication and reducing impulsive behaviours; it often uses clear exercises and homework that are easy to work on between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories through structured sets of bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that developed over time and how past experiences shape present feelings and relationships, encouraging reflection and insight.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on skill-building first, moving into trauma processing, or blending techniques to fit what is most helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, cut travel time and make it easier to keep regular sessions. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and for using screen-based materials or exercises during the session to support learning and practice.
