Mehreen Haroon-Ali, BACP, NCPS

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who blends humanistic values with practical therapy methods. She introduces herself with warmth and an open mind. She sees people through a non-judgemental lens and encourages them to use their own strengths. Mehreen wants clients to feel heard and understood from the first conversation.

She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural work and client-centred methods influenced by her humanistic training. This lets her tailor sessions to what helps each person most. She may introduce creative tools when someone is comfortable with that option.

Mehreen has five years of professional experience working with concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing addiction, parenting strains, ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related issues, among other concerns. Her practice acknowledges complex themes like abandonment, attachment issues and blended family challenges.

Sessions can be short or longer term depending on what someone needs. Mehreen follows a client-led style where the person sets the pace and topics. She describes therapy as a collaborative journey and aims to help people find new ways of coping and renewed motivation.

To begin, she asks people to use the site to start therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Mehreen works in English and accepts international clients, and she treats every first step as an important act of courage.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different responses, which can ease anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the centre of sessions, offering empathy and non-judgemental listening so clients can find their own solutions.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and often happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will suggest ways of working and adjust methods as the relationship develops.

The biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, quieter scheduling around work, or sessions without being on camera when that feels better. Many people find therapy over distance allows continuity when life changes or when they live abroad, and registered or accredited professionals can help tailor sessions to what will work in practice.
