About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and NCPS with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Mehreen also lists support for young adult concerns such as navigating early career and life transitions among her focus areas.
She describes a client-centred way of working that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to surface strengths and options, then build small, practical steps to move forward. Mehreen draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and humanistic principles to help people rethink patterns and try new behaviours.
Her background includes both short and longer term counselling. That means some people use sessions for focused problem-solving while others look for ongoing reflective work. She may introduce creative tools when someone is comfortable with them, but the pace and content are set by the client.
Mehreen highlights listening without judgement and helping people find clearer perspectives on difficult experiences. She notes experience with a broad range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and relationship difficulties. This breadth means she will often help clients connect practical coping with exploration of how early experiences affect current feelings and choices.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Mehreen aims to help people identify realistic goals, try new strategies between meetings, and review what works. For anyone weighing therapy options, she asks that they complete the site matching steps to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, stress or avoidance get in the way of building a life you want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy considers early relationship patterns and how they shape current ways of relating and responding; this can be useful for intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working that fits their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and deciding together whether to focus on short-term skills or deeper exploration.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or other daily routines. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or for using audio-only conversations if less bandwidth or screen time is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and creative tools to suit remote sessions so that therapy stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
