About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and life changes. She uses a person-centred approach and combines talking therapy with coaching to help clients set realistic, manageable goals. Sessions are offered in English and Turkish and are geared towards practical steps people can use day to day.
Tuba focuses on common struggles such as stress, relationship difficulties, grief and coping after trauma. She also works with concerns including self-esteem, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image concerns.
Her style is warm and empathetic. She aims to tailor conversation and plans to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. People can expect a calm, respectful space where the counsellor listens closely and helps weigh options.
Clinically she draws on attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. These approaches are adapted so clients can practice small, achievable changes between sessions. Imago relationship ideas are used when relational patterns need clearer discussion.
Starting therapy is treated as a collaborative process. Tuba combines coaching tools with therapeutic work to build short-term goals and longer-term coping skills. If someone is looking for steady support to manage stress, recover from loss, or work on relationships, her approach aims to make the process clear and manageable.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses today and helps people notice patterns in close relationships so they can try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The counsellor will work collaboratively to discuss goals, try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means checking in about what feels useful and making changes together rather than sticking to one set method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats suit shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations, while others are better when a longer, face-to-face style meeting is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can explain which format may best match a person’s needs and daily routine.
