Background and approach
Mairi mixes practical strategies with deeper work on emotions and patterns that get in the way of better days.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take steps towards those values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are used when concrete skills and problem-solving are helpful. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She says small changes add up, and aims to make each session useful and manageable.
Mairi adapts the pace to the person and respects different backgrounds and identities. Mairi holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She works with adults online from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and attachment patterns in relationships, helping people recognise and shift the ways they react in close ties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive space where the person leads the pace and topics, with the counsellor reflecting and empathising to help the person make sense of their experience.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through preferences, goals and what has helped before, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy with this counsellor can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions suit those who prefer face-to-face conversation, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions allow brief check-ins or ongoing written dialogue that fits around work or caring duties. These options give practical flexibility for people juggling busy lives.
