About Laura
Laura Turba is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown here as BACP. Laura works at a pace set by each person and aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives.
She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of the work. That means conversations follow what matters most to the individual rather than a fixed agenda. Sessions focus on what a person can handle right now, whether that is talking through a recent stressor or going deeper into older wounds.
Laura has three years of experience across several agencies and has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-harm and suicide prevention, parenting pressures, relationship and family worries, depression, and codependency among other areas. She also works with issues such as ADHD, grief, addiction and body image concerns.
Her style is practical and responsive. She uses client-centred methods alongside trauma-focused work, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness to help people manage feelings and make changes. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term goals and clear steps.
Laura welcomes honest conversations about practical barriers to therapy. She is used to adapting session timing around work and family commitments and invites people to raise any worries about starting or keeping therapy going. The aim is steady progress at a comfortable pace.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions can use this to help people shape each meeting, whether they need space to reflect or want to move toward practical steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people look at patterns in close relationships and the feelings that drive them, which can be useful for work on attachment, intimacy or communication. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice can change over time as priorities shift or progress is made, and decisions are made collaboratively.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family by cutting travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when days are busy, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on immediate coping, deeper trauma work, or short-term goal planning depending on what the client wants.
