About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and addiction-related concerns. She supports those dealing with codependency, problems with intimacy, self-esteem and life changes. She works in English and accepts clients across international locations while based in the United Kingdom.
With ten years' experience and BACP registration, Laura takes a person-centred stance. She starts by listening closely to each person's story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are calm and straightforward, with practical steps and space to make sense of what has happened.
Her approach mixes client-centred listening with mindfulness and solution-focused tools. That means time to notice patterns in feelings and actions, and short-term exercises aimed at manageable change. Motivational interviewing can help when people feel stuck or ambivalent about making different choices.
People who come for support often want clear, down-to-earth guidance alongside emotional understanding. Laura aims to help clients identify what they want to change, try small experiments, and review what works. She respects individual pace and direction throughout the process.
If someone needs help with parenting stress, codependency, burnout or coping after loss, Laura offers practical conversation and gentle challenge. Booking begins by using the site Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange the first session.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Laura blends client-centred work and mindfulness with solution-focused ideas. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s priorities, which helps when people need to make sense of confusing emotions or relationship problems. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and experiments that help move toward what a person wants to change rather than digging only into causes.Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Reviews happen along the way so the approach can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. Please confirm which session formats Laura currently offers before booking, as the original biography does not list them. Many people find online conversations useful for coaching through life changes, managing codependency patterns, and practising mindfulness exercises between meetings.
