About Laura
Laura Turba is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in a person-centred way and adapts pace and style to each person. Laura aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable for people juggling family and work commitments.
She has three years' experience working across a range of agencies and with people facing many different issues. That background means she is familiar with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-harm concerns.
How Laura works
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy matters, parenting pressures, grief, addiction and body image worries. Laura draws on several practical approaches to help people make changes.
She uses client-centred methods to focus on the individual's priorities, emotionally focused work to look at feelings in relationships, mindfulness to build calm, solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals, and trauma-focused work to address distressing memories. Sessions aim to be flexible to fit around busy lives. Laura offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Sessions are provided in English, and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and are delivered through a cancellable subscription. To begin, a person follows the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then arranges sessions according to the schedule available.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Client-centred work focuses on what matters to the person and follows their pace, helping them feel heard and in control of goals. Emotionally focused work pays attention to feelings in relationships and helps people name and respond to strong emotions in healthier ways. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and increase calm in daily life.Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can be adjusted over time if something feels unhelpful, so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and messaging suits shorter, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
