About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also offers life coaching to set and pursue practical goals.
Tuba uses straightforward, person-centred conversation as the basis of her work. She listens to what matters most and helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions emphasise real-world adjustments rather than jargon, and practical strategies are offered alongside reflective discussion.
Her background includes training and experience in cognitive behavioural approaches and emotion-focused methods. Those tools are used to help with mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and repairing connection where relationships are strained. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at recurring patterns in relationships.
She speaks English and Turkish, and she has worked with people facing addictions, self-harm, substance misuse, and complex relationship issues. Tuba also lists a range of additional focus areas such as body image, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intimacy-related concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented when needed, with space for exploring deeper emotional material. People who want clear steps to manage anger, improve communication, or cope with life changes often choose this style. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the provider's online booking flow.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect present reactions. It helps when anger or distance keeps repeating in close relationships by identifying attachment needs and responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. It uses open conversation and reflection to clarify priorities and build confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses to triggers.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan together based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative review can shift over time as progress and difficulties become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone in ways that suit their day-to-day life. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use these options to help people manage anger, improve communication, and work through relationship strain without requiring a long commute.
