About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and other life challenges. She works with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and facing big life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Laura holds BACP accreditation and has ten years of experience in the sector. Her approach puts the person’s experience first.
Background and approach
She sees each client as the expert in their own story and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Laura uses listening, reflection and collaborative goal-setting to help people notice options and take small steps forward.
Existential ideas are part of her practice. That means she pays attention to meaning, choice and the feelings that come with change and loss. She combines this with client-centred ways of working that keep the session focused on what matters most to the individual.
Mindfulness methods are used when people want tools to calm busy thoughts and regulate strong emotions. Solution-focused conversations and motivational interviewing help when the main goal is clearer direction or a boost in motivation to change a habit. Laura works with adults from across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She aims to create a calm and straightforward space where people can take the next step, however small, toward a more satisfying everyday life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and facing difficult emotions. Online sessions using this approach help people talk through feelings about change, loss and life direction, and consider steps that align with their values.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects back what matters and supports the client to find their own solutions.
Mindfulness Therapy gives simple practices to manage overwhelming thoughts and strong feelings. These exercises can be practised between sessions and are easy to teach over video or in written form during messaging exchanges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean combining ideas - for example using mindfulness for emotional regulation alongside solution-focused steps for practical change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let people talk face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins with less demand on bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suits short reflections, written exercises and those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the work focused and practical.
