Laura Calabro

Laura Calabro trained and practised for many years across two health systems. She spent four years working within the UK National Health Service and nine years providing therapy in Italy, and she brings that cross‑border experience to her work. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. Her style is warm and direct. She focuses on clear goals and practical steps while also paying attention to the feelings behind the difficulty. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so work might include short skill building, talking through painful memories, or exploring patterns that keep causing problems. Clients often come for help with relationships, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports people dealing with eating and food‑related issues, addictions, grief and work or career worries. Laura pays attention to attachment and family‑of‑origin patterns when these are relevant to current struggles. Therapy can cover topics such as abandonment, codependency, communication difficulties, body image and dissociation. She uses approaches that suit the issue at hand, and will explain options and steps so people understand what to expect. Sessions are offered in English and Italian. The overall aim is to help people feel steadier, clearer and more able to manage day‑to‑day demands. Laura keeps plans practical and adapts pace to each person’s needs so progress feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on skills you can use day to day. It teaches ways to manage strong emotions, improve relationships and reduce unhelpful reactions. This can help when anxiety, stress or self‑harm urges become overwhelming.

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses a structured process to work with distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. It aims to lessen the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether DBT, EMDR, psychodynamic work or trauma‑focused therapy feels best, and they adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check‑ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps concentration. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
