About Laura
Laura Turba is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She uses a pace and style that suit each person and keeps the client at the heart of sessions. Laura holds a BACP credential and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
She has worked across a range of agencies and with people from varied backgrounds and presenting issues. Laura helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and complex trauma, and she also supports those coping with chronic illness or caregiving strain. She works with concerns such as grief, relationship and intimacy issues, body image, addictions, ADHD and eating difficulties.
In sessions she focuses on what the person needs now, using clear, practical steps alongside talking through painful memories. Laura draws on client-centred principles to follow the client’s lead, and she brings trauma-focused tools when people are working through abuse or childhood trauma. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to build coping skills and small, achievable changes.
Laura aims to make therapy fit around life commitments. She invites people to raise worries about starting or keeping sessions and will work with them to find workable arrangements. Practical assessments are sometimes used to track progress and guide next steps.
Her approach is warm and direct. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. People who want to process difficult experiences at a comfortable pace are likely to find this style helpful.

Approaches that translate into online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and creating space to talk at a comfortable pace; online sessions can preserve that feel by allowing people to choose how they present and when they speak. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their emotions and how these affect relationships, which can be useful when working through intimacy, grief or attachment concerns during remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy introduces short, practical exercises to manage stress and grounding; these can be practised in between sessions to build daily coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and it can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need simpler audio-only calls that use less bandwidth.
