About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss. She also supports people dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, parenting strain and major life changes. Laura works from a belief that clients know their own story and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions.
She uses simple, practical conversations to identify small steps people can try between meetings. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building strengths that already exist.
Background and approach
That can mean looking at patterns, testing new ways of responding, or finding ways to manage strong emotions. Laura draws on client-centred work that keeps the person’s experience central. She also uses mindfulness ideas to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed.
Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term, goal-oriented support. Her approach is collaborative and values honest, straightforward dialogue. Laura aims to help people make changes they can sustain in everyday life, not just in the therapy room.
Laura has been practising for 10 years and is affiliated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and welcomes people from across the United Kingdom and beyond. Getting started is simple: a short matching questionnaire helps connect someone to the right format, and sessions can then be scheduled to fit practical needs.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging options.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Laura uses client-centred therapy to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience. This approach means sessions follow what the client brings and respect their pace, which helps when people are sorting through feelings like grief, anxiety or relationship strain.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These tools help people notice thoughts and intense emotions without getting swept up by them, which can be useful for stress, panic and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are flexible when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or want to write rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
