About Mehreen

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties and confidence issues. Sessions are presented as a chance to talk things through and build practical ways of coping.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside humanistic and attachment-informed methods. She describes therapy as client led and focuses on helping people notice patterns that keep problems going and try different responses. That can mean setting small goals, experimenting with thoughts and behaviours, and reflecting on what helps.

Mehreen uses a mix of practical and reflective tools. She may introduce creative exercises when the person is comfortable with them. She aims to support people working through addiction concerns, parenting strain, career stress, eating or sleeping difficulties, intimacy issues, ADHD and other listed concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She accepts international clients and runs short or longer term counselling depending on need. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow.

Mehreen frames clients as experts in their own lives. In practice that means she listens, suggests practical strategies, and reviews progress together to find what fits best.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Mehreen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and to test practical changes. CBT sessions often involve setting small, measurable tasks between meetings and reviewing what worked. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and make committed actions, and on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections can shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mehreen treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise practical CBT exercises, values-based ACT work, or attachment-focused reflection, and they review progress as therapy continues.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Online work makes it straightforward to combine talking through problems with homework tasks and to schedule sessions around work or family commitments.
