Background and approach
Sessions typically focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a pace they find manageable. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also uses emotion-focused ideas to help people understand feelings in relationships and during times of loss.
Tuba has experience supporting a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains and career stress. Additional areas she pays attention to include ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and body image struggles. She offers practical coaching-style conversations when clients want help setting and achieving manageable goals.
The emphasis is on realistic steps and building coping skills that fit everyday life. People who prefer spoken or written work can choose different session styles. Tuba aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and to work collaboratively on the goals they bring to therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Therapy here may draw on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit online formats. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice how past connections shape present feelings. This can be discussed in sessions to improve current relationships and emotional safety. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes; it works well in video or phone sessions where practical homework and thought records can be reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose a mix that fits their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as work progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, need ongoing check-ins, or want to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
