(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell, BACP

(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell offers counselling rooted in practical support and steady care. She introduces herself with warmth and listens first, helping people talk through anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. She also supports those facing trauma, grief or difficulties at work. Tuba combines therapy and life coaching to help set realistic goals and build everyday habits that stick.

Tuba has eight years of experience working with a wide range of issues. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused work and emotionally-focused methods to help people understand patterns of thought and behaviour. Her background also includes work with addictions, self-harm, and coping after loss.

Sessions are delivered in English and Turkish, and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her BACP credential is listed as part of her professional record.

In sessions she keeps things person centred. That means conversations follow each person's needs rather than a fixed script. She emphasises practical changes - small shifts in thought and daily habits - alongside longer emotional work.

Tuba describes her style as warm and empathic. She aims to tailor the process to each person's situation, whether the focus is coping with life change, improving relationships, managing attention differences, or building better daily routines.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds shape current responses and supports gentler ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on the individual's experience and aims to make conversations feel collaborative and non-judgemental. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps break unhelpful thinking and habit loops by practising small changes and new behaviours that fit everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That way sessions can move between exploring emotions, changing daily habits, and setting concrete goals as needed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break or a longer evening session after work. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, please confirm current online options before booking so you know whether video, phone or another format is available.
