About Mehreen

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, humanistic approach alongside practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy. She frames clients as experts in their own stories and aims to work with their strengths. Her practice emphasises a warm, non-judgemental space for people beginning therapy.

Mehreen has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She helps people with common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. Sleeping difficulties and grief are also among the issues she supports people with.

Her way of working is client-led. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on finding ways forward that fit their life. She may offer short-term or longer-term counselling depending on what is needed.

Because her initial training was humanistic, Mehreen adapts her methods to each person. She may introduce creative tools when a client is comfortable with them. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches are also used to address patterns of thinking and behaviour.

Mehreen describes herself as warm, friendly and open-minded. She aims to help people build confidence, improve motivation and gain a new outlook. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and values that matter to them, then build small, meaningful actions around those values to move forward. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that developed in close relationships and how they affect current connections and feelings. It can help with intimacy issues, trust and attachment concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and listens. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to make sense of their experience at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is something the counsellor will do together with the client. Mehreen will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. The relationship and collaboration guide how techniques are chosen and adjusted.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are arranged. Online sessions can make brief check-ins, longer weekly work or different rhythms of support easier to manage alongside everyday life.
