About Laura
Laura Turba is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way and holds a BACP accreditation. She introduces herself simply and aims to make therapy work at the pace a person is ready for. She keeps sessions flexible to fit around family and work commitments and encourages people to raise any worries about starting or continuing therapy.
Laura has three years of professional experience in a variety of settings. She has supported people with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and grief.
Background and approach
She also works with parenting concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and matters related to trauma and abuse. Her practice uses several therapeutic styles to match the needs of the individual. These include client-centred listening, emotionally-focused approaches, and mindfulness tools to help with difficult feelings.
She also draws on solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused work when that fits the situation. Laura has used structured assessments in her work and has experience addressing self-harm and suicide-related risk among clients. She has also worked with people affected by sexual abuse and childhood trauma and aims to guide people through those experiences at a pace they choose.
Practical concerns are part of Laura's approach. She encourages open discussion about scheduling and will try to accommodate sessions around other responsibilities. The goal she describes is steady progress, with the client remaining at the centre of decisions about pace and focus.

Approaches that suit online therapy and parenting support
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's own pace and priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to speak and be heard without pressure, which can be useful for parenting worries and life stress.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they affect relationships. It can help people understand emotional patterns and improve connection in important relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage anxious or intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that fit. Together they will review what helps most and adjust the approach if needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone conversations can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexibility across the day. These formats make it possible to fit therapy around work and family commitments and to maintain continuity when life becomes busy.
