About Mehreen
Counsellor Mehreen Haroon-Ali is listed with BACP and NCPS and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, low self-esteem and issues around motivation and confidence. Sessions are described as client led and focused on helping people find practical ways to move forward.
Mehreen uses cognitive behavioural methods alongside humanistic and attachment-informed approaches. She explains ideas plainly and offers short or longer term counselling depending on what a person needs. Creative tools may be used, but only when the client is comfortable with them.
Her practice centres on listening and helping people identify their own strengths. Conversations aim to break larger problems into manageable steps. She works in a way that lets people lead the topic while she guides the process.
Mehreen has experience supporting people through bereavement, relationship breakdown, coping with life changes and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating difficulties, intimacy issues, anger, career worries, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and adoption and foster care matters.
People can expect clear, straightforward discussion about goals and next steps in early sessions. The practical element of therapy is important to her practice - looking at daily habits, coping strategies and communication patterns. She also discusses options for how many sessions might help and what to try between meetings.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To start, a short matching questionnaire is used so people can schedule their first appointment and discuss whether short term or longer work is preferable.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and to put effort into actions that matter to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and finding clarity around values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behaviour changes, which suits problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and how early experiences may shape current relationships and can help when intimacy, communication or attachment worries are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree on which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have a shorter check-in if needed. It also lets people choose a quieter place or turn off video when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that mirrors in-person therapy in structure, with agreed goals and between-session tasks to support progress.
