Mairi Brown

I have availability on Monday, Thursday day and evening.     Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday I offer evening appointments.    At the weekends I offer Saturday morning and Sunday evening.   I will do my best to accommodate requests out with these times.

When I take annual leave I will give notice of this.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like life's challenges are weighing you down more than they should? Whether it's anxiety keeping you awake at night, low mood draining your energy, relationship difficulties creating distance, or past experiences affecting your present, it's completely understandable to feel this way and you don't have to navigate it alone.

As a pluralistic counsellor, I believe that every person is unique, and what helps one individual may not suit another. There's no 'one-size-fits-all' approach in therapy, so I work collaboratively with you to understand your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful right now. Together, we explore what you want from our sessions and adapt our way of working accordingly - drawing flexibly from a range of ideas and techniques (such as person-centred listening, cognitive-behavioural tools, mindfulness practice, or deeper exploratory work) to create something truly tailored to you.

My style is warm, non-judgmental and empowering. I see you as the expert in your own life, and I bring curiosity, openness, and a commitment to shared decision making. Many clients find this collaborative process helps them feel truly heard, gain fresh perspectives, build practical strategies, heal old wounds and move towards greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.

I have 8 years experience as a counsellor and 20 years as a support worker working with adults facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, identity concerns and relational difficulties. I am a fully qualified pluralistic counsellor, BACP registered, fully insured and PVG checked.

Sessions are available online, by phone, or video with flexible timings to suit your schedule.

If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange a no-obligation initial chat - we can explore together whether this could be a good fit. You are taking an important step, and I'm here to support you on the journey.

I offer an initial call free of charge for 30 minutes.   This is to allow time to discuss what brought you to therapy, to allow time for you to meet me and discuss if you want to continue sessions with myself.
