About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works in a person-centred way and aims to move at a pace that clients are ready for. Laura lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem and blended family issues.

She has worked with different agencies and with people from varied backgrounds. That work has included using score-related assessments and supporting people who have experienced sexual abuse, childhood trauma, suicide risk or self-harm. Her practice emphasises practical, paced support rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Sessions focus on what the client needs in the moment and how they want to work through things. Laura describes the counselling as flexible to fit around family and work commitments. She invites clients to raise any worries about starting or keeping up with sessions so they can be discussed together.

Her approach draws on listening, reflecting and helping people find next steps that feel manageable. She also uses methods that support emotional awareness and coping skills when trauma or intense feelings are present. Many clients use sessions to address relationships, grief, addiction concerns and changes in life circumstances.

If someone is considering talking about blended family tensions, loyalty conflicts or parenting challenges, Laura can help people sort through those feelings and practical options. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions can use that same slow, client-led rhythm to help someone clarify worries and decide next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and reactions; used online it can help people name and work with strong feelings that come up in blended family situations. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety or stress.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what seems to fit your needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way sessions run based on that discussion. It is framed as a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to focus on emotional work without rearranging as much around family and work commitments.
