About Mairi
Mairi Brown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, LGBT issues, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people with depression, anger, grief, self-esteem and sleep or eating concerns.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on understanding feelings and patterns, and on developing ways to respond differently. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Mairi aims to adapt conversations and plans to each person's situation. She describes working with clients on issues like parenting strain, career stress, addiction recovery and coping with life changes. She also addresses specific areas such as attachment and body image concerns.
Her work includes addressing complex difficulties such as domestic violence, abandonment and blended family tensions. People also consult her about bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue linked to caring roles.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary by location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and work with core emotions and attachment patterns that drive difficult relationship habits. It can be useful when people feel stuck in repeating cycles or when feelings are hard to put into words.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-led actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions.
Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on open listening and reflecting what matters to the person in session. This approach supports clearer self-understanding and helps people choose next steps that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then use elements from different methods to make a plan together. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as goals change.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can help fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing a short check-in at a convenient time, or using a phone option when less bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to make sessions easier to attend.
