About Mairi
BACP. 6 years' experience. Mairi Brown works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and a range of other life challenges listed in her practice profile.
Mairi uses several practical counselling approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on clear conversation, learning skills and trying out new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.
Her style is direct and respectful. She adapts how she works to the person in front of her, combining discussion, skill-building and reflective listening. Typical work might include spotting patterns that keep problems going, practising new coping strategies and looking at how relationships affect wellbeing.
Mairi has particular interest in issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, communication problems and substance misuse. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and compassion fatigue where these appear in their lives.
Sessions are arranged through the platform's booking flow. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thinking, feeling and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people express and respond to emotions in ways that improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mairi will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. She combines discussion and skill practice so the style can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use a mix of talking and practical exercises at home or during a break at work, depending on what suits their routine.
