How Mairi works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted to suit their progress and circumstances.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, fewer travel commitments and more choice about appointment times. They also let people try different therapy styles from home and practise tools between meetings, which many find helpful for applying changes in daily routines.
