Laura Disley , BACP

Laura Disley is a BACP-accredited therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, parenting and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and a broad range of life changes and coping challenges. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Laura approaches therapy with the conviction that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be used to overcome what feels overwhelming. She uses a mix of clinical approaches to suit individual needs, drawing on client-centered, existential, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals, explore meaning, and build practical skills. Seeking support is an act of courage, and Laura aims to create a collaborative, respectful space that empowers people to take the steps they want toward a more fulfilling life. She supports international clients as well as those based in the UK and offers online options to fit varied schedules and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Laura Disley often combines client-centered, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches to meet each person where they are. Client-centered therapy foregrounds the client’s experience, offering a nonjudgmental space in which the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own insights and choices - it is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment techniques to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety, helping people cultivate awareness of thoughts and sensations without getting overwhelmed. Solution-focused therapy is brief and practical, concentrating on goals, resources, and small steps that move a person toward meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust methods as required so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
