About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She speaks English and Turkish and combines counselling with life coaching to help people set and reach manageable goals. Her approach is warm and person-centred, and she aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk things through.
Tuba supports people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety, and relationship and family concerns. She also works with trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and practical problems at work.
Background and approach
As a life coach she helps break larger aims into small, achievable steps that fit everyday life. Her practice uses client-centred listening alongside approaches that focus on attachments and emotions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
She adapts conversations and plans to match each person's situation and preferences. She has additional experience with self-harm, addictions and substance misuse, and offers supportive work around body image, intimacy, communication problems and caregiving stress. Other areas she has worked with include ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, compassion fatigue and coping with major life changes.
People can expect a collaborative style where goals are agreed together and reviewed as therapy progresses. Tuba encourages practical steps, regular check-ins and adjustments so the work stays relevant. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule sessions.

How (Taz) works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and test what helps most based on a person's goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments and can reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals use these flexible options to help keep therapy practical and accessible.
