(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell, BACP

(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell works in the United Kingdom and brings eight years of practice to her counselling work. She holds BACP as a professional credential and speaks English and Turkish. Tuba helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and she also supports those facing loss, trauma and addiction challenges.

Tuba describes her approach as warm and empathic. She aims to listen carefully and respond with kindness and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals, and she uses conversation to help people understand patterns and make changes that feel manageable.

She combines coaching with therapy to help clients set and reach practical, sustainable goals. That can mean short-term plans for coping, or longer work on deeper issues such as attachment or grief. Tuba draws on a range of methods, including cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally focused ideas, to match what a person needs in the moment.

Her background includes work with self-harm, substance misuse and workplace conflict, and she has used creative tools such as art and sand work in therapeutic settings. She also has experience supporting people with neurodiversity and complex relationship dynamics.

Tuba welcomes conversations in English and Turkish, and she is open to working with international clients. If someone is considering therapy she encourages taking the first step and arranging an initial match and booking through the service process.

How Tuba adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Tuba uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people who notice repeating cycles in relationships and who want to understand emotional responses. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often shortened to CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out practical changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process means approaches can change over time as progress is made or needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and choose quieter surroundings that suit them. Others prefer short check-ins or longer therapy appointments; these practical choices are discussed when arranging sessions so they fit everyday life.
