About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief. She also combines life coaching to help people set practical, achievable goals.
Tuba uses straightforward, person-focused sessions where people can talk through what feels difficult. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches and Emotionally-Focused work to help identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to be practical and conversational rather than technical.
Her background includes experience with addictions, self-harm and workplace conflict, and she has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain and bereavement. She also lists areas such as body image, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and blended family concerns among the issues she supports.
Tuba speaks English and Turkish and accepts international clients. She describes a client-centred style that focuses on respect and sensitivity while helping people set manageable steps forward. Coaching tools are used when goal-setting feels helpful alongside therapeutic work.
Practical matters such as cost and session arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches sit with online therapy
Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early experiences shape current reactions. It can be useful for relationship worries and for people who feel stuck repeating the same scripts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks problems into specific, practiceable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then suggest starting points. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list explicit options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuation of therapy when life or work schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to help people keep therapy manageable alongside family and job demands.
