Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering an accepting, non-directive space where clients explore feelings and identify their own solutions. This approach helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions by building confidence and agency. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and anxiety; it helps people notice thoughts and sensations with less judgement so they can respond more calmly. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical, forward-looking steps and small changes that lead to measurable improvement; it is useful when clients want short-term, goal-oriented work for issues like coping with change or improving communication.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Laura Disley collaborates with clients to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable for each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives - video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for those who prefer writing or shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily routines, and access registered professionals from different locations.
