Laura Calabro
Evidence-informed therapist with international experience
About Laura
Laura Calabro trained and worked in the UK and Italy and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her practice. She holds HCPC registration which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom. Laura speaks English and Italian and works with people who are navigating difficult life changes, relationship struggles, anxiety and depression.
Her background includes four years in the NHS and nine years practising in Italy. That mix has shaped a straightforward, practical style.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be used between meetings. Laura uses several approaches to help people feel steadier and make changes that last. She draws on trauma-informed work and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past patterns affect present life.
She also uses structured skills work when people need emotion regulation and coping tools. In sessions she listens for strengths and then builds on them. She helps people talk through painful memories, manage intense emotions, and repair trust in themselves.
Practical skills, guided processing, and reflection are woven together as needed. People come for many reasons, including relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, stress, addiction-related worries, eating and body-image issues, and ADHD-related struggles. Laura offers flexible formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s goals.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that suit online therapy
DBT - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when feelings are intense and day-to-day coping feels difficult.EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that helps people process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional hold. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in present life.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any practical concerns, then suggest one or more methods to try. Sessions can combine skills work with trauma processing or psychodynamic reflection depending on what feels most helpful for the person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a close, face-to-face feel for deeper work and processing. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the therapeutic plan focused on measurable progress.
