About Laura
Laura Calabro is a HCPC-registered therapist with 14 years of clinical experience split between the United Kingdom and Italy. She has worked in the NHS for four years and practised for nine years in Italy. She helps people navigate anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression and trauma-related problems, including panic-related concerns. Her approach is respectful and compassionate from the first conversation.
She focuses on practical steps that suit everyday life. Sessions are personalised to each person’s needs and goals. She listens for what matters most and helps people build coping skills they can use outside therapy.
Laura draws on several approaches when they fit a person’s situation. She may use trauma-focused methods to address painful memories, psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat, and skills-based work to manage intense emotions. These are chosen with the client rather than imposed.
Her background includes NHS experience alongside long-term practice in Italy, which shapes a flexible clinical style. She works with common concerns such as stress, grief, low self-esteem, addiction issues and eating-related worries. She also offers support for people dealing with ADHD, attachment and family of origin difficulties.
Sessions are conducted in English and Italian. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist’s availability. Laura aims to create a steady, humane space for people to talk and make changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Laura often draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and trauma-focused approaches depending on a person’s needs. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and reducing impulsive behaviours. Trauma-focused therapy works directly with painful memories and their impact, helping people process past events and reduce ongoing distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods match the client’s goals and preferences. This helps shape a plan that feels workable and relevant to everyday life.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available when you book. Confirm whether video or phone options are offered before starting. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Many people find that working with a registered or accredited professional by remote appointment helps maintain continuity of care while balancing work and family commitments.
