Laura Calabro

Laura Calabro is an HCPC-registered counsellor with 14 years of clinical practice between the United Kingdom and Italy. She has worked four years in the NHS and nine years in Italian practice. She focuses on supporting people through relationship problems, trauma, low mood and self-esteem concerns, and the everyday challenges that make life feel harder.

She aims to offer respectful, sensitive care that is tailored to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Laura draws on a range of approaches to match what each person needs, and she works collaboratively to set clear goals.

Many people come to her for help with anxiety, stress, grief and coping with major life changes. She also supports those managing addiction, eating and body-image concerns, and issues around intimacy and identity, including LGBT matters. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, dissociation and co-morbidity.

Her practice blends shorter-term skills work with deeper psychodynamic thinking when helpful. Trauma-focused methods and EMDR are part of the toolkit she may use with people who have experienced abuse or traumatic events. Laura aims to provide straightforward explanations so people know what to expect from sessions.

She offers therapy in English and Italian and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's matching process to choose a therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that shape online work

Laura commonly draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR in her clinical practice. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships and managing stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods best match the issues, goals and preferences they bring. This collaborative process means plans can change as therapy proceeds and as new needs emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to access clinicians who work in different locations, including registered or accredited professionals in other countries. Confirm the exact session format and scheduling details when you arrange your first meeting.
