Mairi Brown, BACP

Mairi Brown is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and issues around addiction and identity. Her practice includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, and codependency.

In sessions she keeps conversation straightforward and practical. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to guide the work. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural experiments, or practising skills for strong emotions.

She aims to listen without judgement and to adapt the way she talks to what each person needs. Where relevant she will focus on boundaries, communication problems and the pressures that come from living around someone else’s drinking or moods. She also supports people facing work stress, career changes and compassion fatigue.

Mairi describes practical starting steps and keeps aims realistic. Sessions can look like checking current problems, setting short goals and trying new ways of responding between meetings. Therapy can also centre on understanding attachment patterns, abandonment or blended-family issues when those are relevant.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
