About Laura
Laura Disley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with ten years of professional experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating issues, addiction concerns, self-esteem problems and workplace pressures.
Laura treats people as the experts on their own lives. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns, test small changes and try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Her style draws on client-centred principles, which means she listens for what matters most to each person and follows their priorities in session. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify immediate goals and build on what already works. Mindfulness approaches are introduced to help with stress, reactivity and emotional regulation.
Clients who come for anger-related concerns often work on spotting early signs of tension, practicing short strategies to reduce escalation, and reviewing communication habits that keep resentment alive. Laura also supports people through relationship difficulties, separation and bereavement, and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse.
Sessions are delivered in plain language and aim for practical outcomes that fit everyday life. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging their first appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and follows the client’s priorities, helping them make sense of feelings and decide what to try next. This can be useful for people dealing with anger, relationship strain or low self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Learning short breathing or grounding exercises can make it easier to pause before acting on anger and to notice bodily signs of escalation. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate steps that help now, such as small behavioural experiments or new ways of communicating, which can be useful when someone wants practical change quickly.
Choosing an approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt what they do according to what suits the client’s needs and preferences. That includes checking whether mindfulness, solution-focused tasks or a client-centred conversation feels most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals offer online work to help clients apply strategies between sessions and test changes in real life.
