About (Taz)

Taz Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a UK-based licensed counsellor and therapist with eight years of experience supporting people through depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, workplace conflict, trauma, abuse, and grief. She also works as a qualified life coach, helping clients set realistic goals and build sustainable plans to reach them.

Her background includes additional training in areas such as self-harm, addictions and substance misuse, transactional analysis, art and sand therapy, play therapy, CBT, EFT, psychoanalytic ideas, and relationship counselling. She practices in both English and Turkish, offering bilingual support for clients who prefer either language.

She is described as warm and empathic, and she places a strong emphasis on respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work. She adopts a person-centered stance, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs and life circumstances of each individual. Her approach recognizes that everyone has their own strengths and challenges, and she works collaboratively to adapt interventions to those differences.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and she acknowledges that first step. She offers steady support throughout the process, accompanying clients as they explore challenges, build coping strategies, and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence present connections - it helps people understand recurring dynamics in close relationships and work toward more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-awareness and self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the approach fits the client's experience and aims.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so sessions can fit around work, family life, and geography. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and access therapists when in-person visits are difficult, while preserving the same therapeutic focus and skill-based work used in face-to-face therapy.
