About Laura
Laura Calabro is an HCPC-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. She spent four years working in the NHS and nine years practising in Italy. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and a range of other concerns including anxiety and addictions.
Laura focuses on practical conversation and steady pacing. She aims to listen to what has happened, clarify what feels most urgent, and agree small steps that feel doable. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to address next.
Her background includes work across different settings in the UK and Italy, bringing together perspectives from both systems. This helps when clients bring complex issues such as attachment, abandonment or family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating and intimacy-related issues.
Therapeutic approaches she uses include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, EMDR and psychodynamic work, deployed depending on the presenting problem. That means practical skills for managing emotions alongside deeper work about past patterns and trauma.
Laura offers sessions in English and Italian and will discuss goals and options at the first meeting. For people juggling work or family she encourages a realistic plan, with manageable steps rather than big changes all at once.
Approaches used online and how they help
Laura draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and EMDR in online work. DBT offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling difficult interactions. It can help someone who feels overwhelmed by guilt, shame or impulsive reactions. EMDR focuses on processing troubling memories and bodily reactions linked to trauma, aiming to reduce the intensity of those memories and the distress they cause.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your history, current symptoms and goals, then recommend which methods to try first. Plans may combine skills work with trauma-focused processing, and will be adjusted as you notice what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments. They can allow for shorter check-ins on busy days, or longer work-focused sessions when time allows. Registered or accredited professionals often use this flexibility to keep therapy practical and consistent with everyday life.
