Mairi Brown is a United Kingdom based therapist who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings six years of professional experience to her work. She specialises in supporting people dealing with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and relationship difficulties. She works with each person in a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way, shaping conversations and treatment plans around the individual needs and goals presented.

Mairi emphasises a collaborative, person-focused approach that adapts over time as progress is made. She recognises that seeking change takes courage and aims to be a steady source of support through the process of finding greater fulfillment and wellbeing. Her practice centres on tailoring interventions to what fits best for each client, making room for different backgrounds, experiences, and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then take actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where a person wants to build a more meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them through practical exercises. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it offers concrete strategies to change behaviours and reduce distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace. This approach supports self-discovery, stronger self-esteem, and improved relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mairi works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives or to access therapy from different locations. For many people, these options increase accessibility and allow for consistent, ongoing work with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor care around each person's life.
