About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports those dealing with addictions, self-esteem, intimate and sexual concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, career strain and life changes.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward, person-focused way. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Practical steps and short-term goals are used alongside reflective listening and discussion. Tuba also offers life coaching to set and work toward manageable goals.
Her background includes experience with substance misuse, self-harm, transactional analysis, art and sand therapy, and play therapy. The listing records Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy among her approaches. She speaks English and Turkish.
Sessions address both immediate problems and longer-standing patterns. Expect a mix of practical exercises, guided reflection and conversations about relationships and behaviour. The focus is on noticing patterns, testing different responses, and building clearer ways of coping.
People often come with specific problems such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges or complex grief. Tuba tailors discussions to the issue at hand and supports clients to set realistic next steps. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. It uses practical exercises and short-term goals to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current ways of relating. It helps people recognise patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting and communicating.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects and supports the client's own pace of change, useful for processing grief, stress and life adjustments.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods to use based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as different issues are explored.
If you plan to meet online, check which session formats are offered before booking. Confirm how appointments are scheduled and what the subscription covers. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for quieter surroundings, or suit those who prefer not to travel to appointments.
