Mairi Brown, BACP

Mairi Brown is a UK-based therapist who brings six years of professional experience to her work with people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and relationship difficulties. She holds a BACP credential, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Mairi approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and therapeutic plans around the individual rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. She focuses on understanding each client’s particular circumstances and collaborates on strategies that align with their values and goals.

Recognising that reaching out for help is often a courageous first step, Mairi aims to provide steady support as clients work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Her practice emphasises a tailored, empathetic style that seeks practical ways to manage current challenges while building resilience for the future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Mairi Brown often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered principles. ACT focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to distress, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and relationship challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasises a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support to foster self-awareness and personal growth.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Mairi collaborates with each client to explore which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support without travel, helping clients engage with therapy in ways that suit their life.
