About (Taz)
(Taz) Tuba Altintas-Gemmell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on eight years of experience supporting people through depression, stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Tuba also offers life coaching to help clients set practical, manageable goals and build steps toward change.
Her work is warm and person-centred. She listens first, then helps people decide what to try next. Sessions focus on real-life changes - improving sleep, managing strong emotions, addressing addictive patterns, or repairing communication problems.
Background and approach
Tuba uses a mix of approaches so sessions feel practical and tailored. She blends client-centred conversation with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused work when that fits. Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and closeness issues.
She has experience with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and family stress, and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. Tuba is also familiar with body image, sexual diversity and kink-related topics, and long-term health challenges like chronic illness or cancer-related caregiving strain. Sessions are available in English and Turkish, and she can work with international clients.
Many people choose online formats for flexibility. Tuba aims to create clear, achievable steps so progress feels steady and understandable.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tuba will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. That collaboration means techniques are picked to fit the client's situation rather than following a fixed plan.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, practising new skills, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access care from different places and times while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
