About Mehreen
BACP, NCPS. Five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. Mehreen Haroon-Ali works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes. She also supports clients with issues such as grief, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career questions.
Mehreen uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy. She describes the client as the expert on their own life and aims to help people notice strengths they can draw on. Sessions are led by the client and adapted to what the person prefers and needs.
Her early training was humanistic and she says that experience shaped a flexible style of working. Mehreen may use creative tools when clients are comfortable doing so. She offers both shorter and longer term counselling depending on the issue and the person’s goals.
Mehreen highlights practical concerns such as motivation, confidence and coping with loss. She also lists additional focus areas including attachment and adoption issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as ADHD.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session via the See online counselling options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on what matters most so clients can take practical steps forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses straightforward exercises to break unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns that affect current emotional responses and can be useful for people coping with abandonment, adoption or connection difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about what they want to achieve and which methods feel like the best fit. That decision is made together and can change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps someone engage, or make use of creative tools during a meeting when appropriate. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work effective for many of the concerns she lists, and practical arrangements are agreed at first contact.
