About me
Hi I am Mairi,
Life’s challenges can leave us with many feelings, we might feel that we knew ourselves but changes and challenges have left us in a different place that we don’t understand. Or maybe we want to make changes and want to discuss that without fear of judgement or criticism. That is where I can help. Using a pluralistic approach to counselling offering you different perspectives on what you are facing. I can offer you the support helping you understand what is happening so that you can decide what is best for you.
I will provide support in different ways by listening and validating your experience and feelings. That support providing you with the strength to reflect and refocus. I have worked with professional and unpaid carers. Dealing with bereavement, ambiguous loss and burnout.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Higher Education Diploma in Adult Nursing from Dundee University.
A BSc in Psychology from the Open University.
A level 5 diploma Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Chrysalis.
I now work in a carers centre as a counsellor. This was where I did the placement part of my counselling training and was given my role there in 2024.

Further information
There is no such thing as “one size fits all “ when it comes to a person’s experience. On our first session you can tell me what is happening and how you feel that you got there and from there I can help you through this challenging part of your life using the different perspectives that I have.
I use a pluralistic approach to counselling this means that I can use these different perspectives to help you. Giving you a tailored made counselling experience & with support make the changes that you feel you want to make.
