About Mairi
She works in a person-focused way and adapts practical techniques to everyday life. Sessions combine talking through experiences with hands-on strategies you can try between meetings. Mairi draws on approaches that help shift unhelpful thoughts and habits while building values-based actions that matter to you.
Her background includes six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people through addiction, relationship strain and identity-related challenges for LGBT clients.
Mairi aims to make the therapy space straightforward and collaborative. She listens for what matters most, helps set small achievable goals, and checks progress each step of the way. The focus is on changes that fit into everyday routines rather than abstract theory.
Practical work may cover coping skills for overwhelming feelings, ways to challenge repetitive negative thoughts, and steps to rebuild healthier patterns in relationships and daily life. Mairi encourages people to take their pace and brings compassion into each session.

How Mairi’s approaches work well online
Mairi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers practical steps and short exercises that suit work between sessions and everyday life.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that match your values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals and preferences, and may blend techniques from different approaches as needed.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so checking current options is recommended. Online therapy can fit around busy schedules, reduce travel time and let sessions take place from quieter surroundings. It can also make shorter check-ins easier and allows practical homework to be shared and discussed between meetings.
