Laura Disley, BACP

Laura Disley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and issues linked to trauma and addiction. She works with people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, low self-esteem, and career or life transitions. She brings ten years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as part of her professional framework.

Her style centres on listening and collaboration. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward. Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at making small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Laura draws on client-centred ideas to put the person’s priorities first. She also uses mindfulness practices to help reduce stress and solution-focused methods to set clear, manageable goals. Motivational interviewing can be part of the work when people want help finding inner motivation to change.

In the room she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Conversations often include setting achievable steps, practising awareness exercises, and reflecting on patterns that get in the way of goals. That practical focus helps people handle setbacks and build on progress.

She accepts international clients and offers sessions that operate via the site's booking process. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences. The counsellor follows what matters most to the person, reflecting back concerns and priorities so the client feels heard and supported. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship problems, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress and calm racing thoughts. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions by training attention and noticing patterns without harsh judgement.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move someone toward their goals. Sessions often end with one or two actions to try between appointments, which can build confidence and momentum for people dealing with career shifts, parenting pressures, or everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and preferences, checking in and adjusting as work progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if that suits someone better.
