About Laura
Laura Calabro is a counsellor and a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registrant. She has 14 years of clinical experience, including four years in the NHS and nine years working in Italy. She works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem and depression alongside many related concerns.
She uses a mix of methods to suit what each person brings. In sessions she may draw on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns and on trauma-focused methods for distress linked to past events. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques for coping skills and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are a focus.
Laura aims to be direct and practical in the room. She helps people name the problem and find manageable steps forward. Conversations cover feelings, behaviour and everyday routines rather than abstract theory.
She works in English and Italian and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Laura blends Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and trauma-focused methods in online work. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, using practical exercises and step-by-step strategies. Trauma-focused therapy aims to address distress linked to past events by working through upsetting memories and building safer patterns in daily life. EMDR may be used as part of trauma work to help process distressing memories when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, and make decisions with the client based on their goals, history and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy if they have moved location internationally. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to increase convenience while focusing on practical coping and emotional processing.
