Mairi Brown , BACP

Mairi Brown is a UK-based therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings six years of professional experience to her work. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Her practice also addresses problems such as anger, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the many ways life transitions can affect wellbeing.

She approaches each person with sensitivity and compassion, adapting conversations and care plans to fit each individual’s circumstances and goals. Drawing on evidence-informed methods, Mairi aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore patterns, build practical skills, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for them.

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she recognises the courage it takes to reach out. Mairi offers steady professional support throughout that process, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Approaches and benefits of online therapeutic care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck trying to avoid them. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-based approach that explores the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It offers tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by teaching strategies for changing thinking and behavior in everyday situations.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, relationship concerns, identity work, and emotional healing through empathic listening and collaboration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mairi works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options help people access licensed professionals and therapists from their own location, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.
