About Mehreen

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who draws on humanistic and evidence-informed methods to help people move through difficult moments. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and believes each person knows their own story and strengths. Mehreen approaches sessions with openness and practical guidance so people can start to feel differently about their situation.

Her practice uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, blended with attachment and client-centred ideas. This lets her adapt to what a person needs, whether that means talking things through, trying a new way of looking at thoughts, or using simple exercises between sessions. She may introduce creative tools when someone is comfortable with them.

Mehreen has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She helps with a wide range of concerns, from stress and anxiety to grief, relationship difficulties, addiction and motivation or self-esteem struggles. Adoption and foster care issues are also listed among her additional focus areas.

Sessions are shaped by the person in the room and can be either shorter-term or longer-term, depending on goals. The aim is to support practical change while respecting each person’s pace and preferences. Mehreen offers support in English and accepts international clients.

If someone wants to begin, they can use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps in that direction while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections and feelings of safety. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s pace and viewpoint, offering empathetic listening so the client can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mehreen collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what doesn’t so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The biography does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and schedule shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use audio-only meetings if they prefer lower bandwidth or less screen time. Discuss scheduling and practical arrangements during the initial matching process to find an approach that works with everyday life.
