About Mairi

Mairi Brown is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with addiction, depression, grief, self-esteem and LGBT concerns. Mairi writes short, clear plans and keeps conversations focused and practical so steps feel manageable.

Mairi works in a respectful and compassionate way. She listens first, then tailors sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels right for the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Her background includes six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That experience has involved helping people cope with life changes, parenting stresses, career decisions and challenges such as eating and sleeping problems. Mairi uses a range of approaches depending on the issue and the person's preferences.

These include Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and client-centred methods. She adapts techniques so they are easy to use between sessions. People often begin by talking about one clear problem and then build skills for managing emotions, difficult memories or relationship patterns.

Mairi aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to everyday life, helping people take the next small steps toward feeling better.

Ways of working Mairi names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Mairi’s approaches translate to online therapy

This counsellor draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred work in online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people work through distressing memories and the effects of past harm by gently revisiting experiences and building coping skills to reduce flashbacks and overwhelm. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values, learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and committing to actions that matter to the person. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening, empathy and working at the client’s pace to build trust and understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mairi will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process and she aims to explain options in simple terms so you can choose what feels right.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be quicker check-ins that need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit into busy days or provide shorter, written reflections. These formats make it easier to keep therapy regular and flexible while focusing on practical change.
