About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addiction and sleep difficulties. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage daily life.
Laura believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, listening style to sessions. She focuses on what someone wants to change and works alongside them to find workable steps. Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to small changes that add up over time.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns from trauma and abuse to eating and intimacy-related issues. She also has experience helping people with ageing and caregiving stresses, blended family dynamics, bereavement, and challenges linked to illness and body image. This variety informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s needs.
Therapeutic methods she draws on include client-centred listening, exploring meaning and values, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. These tools are used to help people clarify goals, manage difficult emotions and try new behaviours between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Start by using the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability. The counselling subscription can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches to online counselling and practical support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions and build on strengths. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood. These practices can help with anxiety, stress and sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what matters to the client and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods and goals are made jointly, based on the client’s needs and preferences.
The original biography does not list which online or in-person session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as arranging shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time or choosing times that suit work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can also use mindful exercises and solution-focused planning during remote sessions to help with sleep routines, coping strategies and practical behaviour changes.
