How Mairi uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, warmth and respect so people can explore issues at their own pace and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals and what feels comfortable, then suggest ways to combine methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy with Mairi uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make sessions flexible. Video is good for a full conversation and visual contact. Phone sessions suit people who need a lower-bandwidth option or a personal voice conversation. Live chat and messaging let people check in between calls, use shorter check-ins, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain momentum and to work around work and family commitments.
