About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, with five years' experience in practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction concerns and codependency-related patterns.
She begins by listening to each person's story and treating them as the expert on their life. Sessions are led by the client’s priorities, and Mehreen uses a mix of approaches so people can try different ways of working. She draws on cognitive behavioural tools to look at thinking patterns and practical steps to change them.
Her background in humanistic and attachment-based approaches means she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current responses. She may introduce acceptance and commitment techniques to help someone notice difficult feelings and act in line with personal values. Creative tools are offered only when the client wants to try them.
Mehreen supports people who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, losing a sense of self around others, and the emotional impact of another person’s drinking or crises. She talks through boundaries, self-esteem work, and coping strategies in clear, practical terms.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. She works in English and accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps that match what matters to them. It can be useful when someone struggles with avoidance, people-pleasing or getting overwhelmed by emotions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns such as over-giving, fear of abandonment or anxious responses in close relationships, and offers ways to build different habits in relating to others.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to make their own choices. The counsellor creates an accepting atmosphere and follows the client’s lead while offering reflections and practical options to try.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means trying a practical exercise one week and focusing on relational patterns the next, according to what the client needs.
If you want to use online sessions, check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps fit therapy into everyday life, for example by making it easier to attend during a work break, avoiding cameras some days, or choosing shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt sessions to what works in a person’s routine.
