Laura Calabro, HCPC

Laura Calabro is a UK-credentialed professional who combines experience gained in the National Health Service with practice in Italy. She spent four years working within the NHS and nine years practising in Italy, offering support to people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she works to tailor conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs and goals of each person she supports.

As a registered practitioner with HCPC - the Health and Care Professions Council - she maintains recognised UK professional standards. Laura collaborates with clients to design personalised pathways rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, and she draws on a range of clinical methods to address complex issues related to relationships, coping with change, anxiety, stress, addictions, and grief. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make that first step easier by offering steady, attentive support throughout the therapeutic process.

Her style is grounded in practical care and thoughtful listening, with an emphasis on helping people build confidence, navigate difficult transitions, and work through painful experiences at a pace that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online accessibility

Laura Calabro draws on a mix of evidence-informed approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing self-destructive patterns; it is often used for overwhelming mood states and relationship difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and the emotional responses tied to them, supporting recovery from traumatic experiences. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns that arise from past relationships and early life experiences to uncover how they influence present feelings and behaviours, helping people gain deeper self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts plans over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy makes these options more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel needs, and allow people to maintain continuity of care across different locations. Registered professionals and therapists can use these remote options to offer consistent support while accommodating diverse lifestyles and time zones.
