About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 10 years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, addictions and anger. She also supports people facing parenting strain, work pressures, self-esteem problems and life transitions.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps, clear conversation and discovering strengths that help with change. She uses listening, guided questioning and reflective techniques to help people understand patterns and try new ways of responding.
Laura draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s priorities at the heart of sessions. She blends this with solution-focused thinking to set short-term goals and mindfulness practices to manage stress and strong feelings. Motivational interviewing features when people want help with change that feels difficult, such as cutting down on substances or shifting habits.
In practice she aims for straightforward, honest conversations. People often work on recognising triggers, practising different responses to anger, and building simple routines for better sleep and mood. Sessions can include exercises to try between meetings so progress continues outside the room.
Her background includes ten years working with a wide range of issues, including trauma, attachment and caregiving stress. She accepts clients from the UK and international enquiries in English. Before booking, readers should check current session options and costs.
Approaches used in online sessions
Laura commonly uses client‑centred work, which involves listening closely and helping people clarify what matters to them. This approach helps when someone wants to sort through feelings about relationships, anger or life changes without being directed by the therapist.She also draws on mindfulness therapy, which introduces simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises are aimed at reducing strong reactivity, improving sleep and creating small moments of calm during stressful days. Solution‑focused techniques are used to set short, practical goals and notice what changes make a difference quickly.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the first sessions. The therapist will explore a person's goals, preferences and practical needs and work together to find the best mix of methods. That collaborative choice is reviewed as things progress so the work stays relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiver duties or travel. They can also allow shorter check‑ins, avoid travel time and make it simpler to keep a consistent schedule while working on anger, stress and coping skills.
