About Laura
Laura Disley helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, sleeping or eating problems, and coping with life changes. Laura works in a direct and encouraging way so people can start to make small changes quickly.
She uses a person-centred attitude that treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to build on strengths and to make decisions that feel right for the client.
Background and approach
Practical tools and gentle reflection are used side by side so people can try things between meetings. Laura draws on mindfulness to help calm busy thinking and to make day-to-day coping easier. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, short-term goals and spot what is already working.
Motivational interviewing helps when people are ready to tackle habits or addictions and need support finding their own reasons for change. With ten years of experience, Laura brings steady professional care to each session. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership is listed as BACP.
She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English. Her style is warm, straightforward and collaborative. People can expect to be listened to without judgement and to be offered practical steps tailored to their situation.
The aim is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life and move towards their goals.

How Laura works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That means trying an approach and adapting it if it does not feel helpful, so the client plays an active role in shaping the work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video if a phone conversation suits better. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to help clients keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
