Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Calabro uses evidence-informed approaches to address emotional and relational difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing unhelpful patterns of behaviour - it is often helpful for people struggling with emotion regulation and relationship conflicts. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can support recovery from traumatic experiences. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, offering deeper insight into long-standing difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining approaches where appropriate to match each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that suits their life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access support from different locations while still working with registered professionals.
