Mairin’s therapeutic approach is an integrated one, grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), enriched by evidence-based elements from attachment theory, existential therapies, solution-focused therapy and neuroscience. As a senior lecturer and trainer in ACT (therapy) and trauma-informed practice for more than five years, and researcher in mindfulness and neuroscience-informed approaches, Mairin’s focus is on providing evidence-based tools that are grounded in mind-body integration. Mairin has received advanced training in cognitive behavioural therapy and developmental attachment therapy and has engaged in mindfulness practices and research for many years (adapted for neurodivergent minds).

Mairin’s work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, creating a safe, judgement free, inclusive space for all clients. Her approach with individuals, couples, and whānau is authentic, accepting, and focused on walking beside clients to empower them to live a life led by their values. Mairin’s personal style is down-to-earth, geeky, humorous (when appropriate) and very real.
