About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell offers eight years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with clients in the United Kingdom and with international clients, speaking English and Turkish. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Tuba combines person-centred listening with structured tools when helpful. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based ideas to look at how feelings shape patterns in relationships and self-worth.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where thinking and behaviour changes can reduce symptoms. Practical goals are part of her way of working. As a qualified life coach she supports people to set manageable steps and follow through.
Sessions can include talking, reflective exercises and simple homework to test what feels useful. She has experience supporting people coping with trauma, grief, addictions, parenting strain, work conflict and issues around intimacy and identity. Additional focus areas include ADHD, body image, chronic illness, communication problems and blended family concerns.
Clients can expect a warm, respectful style and an effort to adapt to each person’s needs. Tuba says therapy is a collaborative process - she listens first and then tailors the approach. Her aim is to help people find clearer thinking, calmer moods and better ways to relate to themselves and others.

Online support
How her approaches work online and what to expect
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape relationships and self-view. Online EFT sessions help people identify core emotions and change unhelpful interaction patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to safety and connection that formed early in life and how those patterns show up now, which can be useful for relationship struggles and self-worth issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns and then suggest a mix of methods that fit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, travel and family life.
