About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and listed with NCPS, with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and anger. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what is happening and find practical ways to move forward.
She uses a mix of approaches shaped by an initial humanistic training and subsequent clinical work. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused ideas and client-centred listening. Mehreen favours straightforward conversations and can introduce creative tools when a person feels comfortable trying them.
Mehreen describes her work as client-led. That means sessions focus on the person and their priorities, and the pace is decided together. She pays attention to strengths and practical steps, helping people manage everyday problems like sleep, parenting strain, workplace frustration and the build-up of resentment.
Her background includes supporting people through loss, trauma and life transitions, and she has worked with concerns such as addictions, intimacy issues and low self-esteem. She also lists work around ADHD, compassion fatigue and career questions among her focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and Mehreen accepts international clients. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small actions that reflect their values. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and managing strong emotions like anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It often involves practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, stress and workplace frustration.
Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationship patterns affect current responses to conflict and intimacy. This can be useful when resentment, trust or communication problems keep recurring.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help the client decide together what feels most useful, based on goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what is offered before booking. Many people find that fitting therapy into a regular routine helps - for example arranging shorter check-ins around work, or choosing sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy part of everyday life while trying different therapeutic tools.
