About Mairi
Mairi Brown is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, low mood and issues around self-esteem and identity. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Mairi adapts conversations and plans to suit individual needs. She invites straightforward talk about what is worrying someone now and what a better life would look like. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that can be tried between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work. These help people notice difficult thoughts, try values-based goals and practise new ways of reacting when emotions run high. Mairi has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works with adults on a range of concerns such as grief, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and career questions. People can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to meet with her. Sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. In sessions people identify thoughts that raise stress and practise alternative responses to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.
Client-Centred Therapy offers a space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist listens without judgement. This approach supports emotional processing and building self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods to try. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat or text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible, written support between meetings.
