About Mehreen

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who uses humanistic and evidence-informed approaches to help people make practical changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Mehreen speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She blends client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to meet different needs. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, experiment with new ways of thinking and act on what matters most to them. She also draws on attachment-based and existential ideas when these fit a person’s concerns.

Mehreen has five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and changes in life. She also works with issues such as codependency, addiction, parenting strain, self-esteem and career worries. Her background includes humanistic training that shapes a flexible, person-led style.

Sessions can use creative tools when the client is comfortable, and Mehreen offers both short and longer-term counselling. She describes her role as listening, reflecting and helping people try different options until something fits. Her approach aims to be collaborative rather than directive.

Mehreen holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises in the United Kingdom. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, which can ease anxiety and life transitions.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own perspective at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and supports the client to find their own solutions. This approach is often useful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or identity concerns.

Mehreen uses these approaches alongside attachment-based ideas to make sense of relationship patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with the client to decide what methods fit their goals, needs and preferences, and adapt as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work or family time and making it easier to check in from different locations. If certain session formats are important to you, confirm the options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online counselling that helps people practise new skills between sessions and maintain momentum when life is busy.
