About Mairi
Mairi Brown helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, addiction and low mood. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting challenges, work stress, identity questions and eating or sleeping difficulties. Mairi is named here so readers know who they will meet.
She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped around what matters to each person. Mairi listens for practical steps and small changes that can feel possible between appointments.
Background and approach
Her way of working draws on a mix of approaches. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on values and actions they can take despite difficult feelings.
Sessions also reflect client-centred principles, meaning the person leads the pace and topics. Where helpful, she introduces skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas can be used to look at how feelings shape close relationships.
Mairi holds BACP which is shown as her professional credential. She has six years of practice experience working with a wide range of concerns. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and some eating concerns.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how a method might fit each person’s situation, and then make a plan together. That collaborative approach helps shape what happens in sessions and between them.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work or childcare. Live chat and text messages offer short check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
