Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning practical ways to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often applied to anxiety, low mood, and problems with coping skills.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-discovery and personal growth. This approach supports people who need space to explore identity, relationships, and self-esteem concerns.

Mairi works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches is the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages an open dialogue about what methods feel most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options can make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between sessions, and access consistent support from wherever the client is located within the United Kingdom.
