About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who blends humanistic values with practical therapy methods. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She works in English and offers online sessions for people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
She believes the client is the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are led by the person attending, not the therapist, so the pace and focus follow what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Mehreen aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful or confusing experiences. Her practice includes support for relationship concerns, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation, and life changes. She is also familiar with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating problems, and compassion fatigue.
Mehreen can use creative tools if someone is comfortable trying them, but usually keeps the work conversational and practical. Mehreen has five years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She offers both short-term and longer-term counselling depending on what a person needs.
Her style is open-minded and flexible, adjusting methods when something is not helping. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process with Mehreen. She aims to help people notice small changes, try new ways of coping, and find a clearer outlook on everyday challenges.
When someone is ready to begin, she supports them in taking that first step.
Practical therapy approaches for online sessions
Mehreen combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred approaches in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions through supportive conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mehreen works collaboratively to see what fits a person's needs and goals, and adapts methods when something is not helping. She will discuss options and agree a way forward together so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or more time to reflect between contacts. These options make it easier to work around busy schedules, travel constraints, or different comfort levels with being on camera.
