About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, depression and addiction concerns. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, career uncertainty, intimacy questions and challenges related to ADHD. With a clear, down-to-earth style she aims to make taking the first step feel manageable and direct.
She works from the belief that each person knows their story best and already has strengths to draw on. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to the individual. Laura uses listening, gentle questioning and practical guidance to help people spot patterns and try different ways of coping.
Her approach draws on client-centred ideas that place the person at the heart of the work, and on solution-focused methods that keep conversations practical and goal-oriented. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when helpful.
Laura has around 10 years of professional experience and holds BACP membership, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly and work through difficult feelings.
People can expect straightforward conversations, practical steps between sessions when wanted, and support to build on what already works in their life. Laura welcomes clients who identify with men’s wellbeing concerns and those seeking help from a practitioner in the UK.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Laura uses client-centred work that places the person’s perspective at the centre of each session, focusing on understanding and respect while allowing the client to lead the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to think things through.She also uses solution-focused methods which concentrate on clear, small goals and practical steps. This style is useful when someone wants short-term direction, clearer next steps or help trying new coping strategies. Mindfulness techniques are drawn on to help with stress and anxiety, using simple breath and awareness exercises to ground difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will adjust methods while collaborating with the client. That way the plan reflects the person’s needs rather than a fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also allow a shorter phone or video check-in when that better suits a busy day.
