Laura Calabro

Laura Calabro is an HCPC-registered clinician in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practice between the NHS and work in Italy. She has experience supporting people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem concerns and depression. Laura speaks English and Italian and works with a wide range of life challenges related to career, stress and identity.

Laura spent four years working within the NHS and nine years practising in Italy. That mix of settings means she is used to short-term focused work and longer-term therapeutic conversations. She draws on several clinical approaches to address emotional pain and day-to-day struggles.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations often look at past relationships and family background to understand present difficulties. Practical skills can also be introduced to manage intense emotions and reduce day-to-day distress.

When trauma is involved, she uses approaches designed to work with traumatic memories and their effects on thinking and behaviour. For issues like addiction, eating concerns or compulsive patterns, sessions include both emotional exploration and behavioural strategies to interrupt unhealthy cycles.

People typically come with questions about direction, identity or intense emotional reactions. Laura aims to help people clarify what matters to them now and to try new ways of coping. To start, readers are invited to use the online matching steps to book an initial session and see if her style is the right fit.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It focuses on practical tools such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation and clearer communication, which can be practised between sessions and discussed online.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and their emotional effects. In therapy this approach involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their intensity and the way they influence daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your difficulties, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can include mixing short-term skills work with deeper psychodynamic or trauma-focused work depending on what you need.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as they are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family life and reduce the time spent travelling. They also allow for shorter check-ins or focused skills sessions when that suits your schedule.
