Laura Disley , BACP

Laura Disley is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, parenting and intimacy-related struggles, and challenges such as eating, sleeping, and career concerns. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates her affiliation with a recognized professional body.

Her practice emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story, and she draws on that belief to help people build on their existing strengths. Laura aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore feelings, identify patterns, and develop practical strategies for change. She supports work on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems, caregiver stress, and life transitions such as divorce or aging.

Seeking therapy is often a courageous first step toward greater fulfilment, and Laura offers steady, compassionate support throughout the process. She focuses on empowerment and practical progress, helping clients set achievable goals and discover ways to manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with complex life challenges.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Growth

Laura uses client-centered therapy to place the person's own experiences and values at the heart of the work, offering a respectful, non-judgemental stance that helps people explore feelings and make choices that align with their goals. Mindfulness therapy is offered to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations, supporting people who struggle with anxiety, stress, or emotion regulation by teaching grounding and present-moment skills. Solution-focused therapy targets practical change by identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward better functioning and clearer relationships, making it useful when clients want forward-looking strategies for specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and meaningful for the client, with regular review and adjustment as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic approaches remotely, allowing clients to access consistent support from wherever they are.
