About Mehreen

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a BACP and NCPS-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with common concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and loss, motivation, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with anger, trauma, addictions and life changes.

She describes clients as the experts in their own story and focuses on helping people use their strengths to manage challenges. Sessions are led by the client, with Mehreen offering different ways of working to suit individual preferences. She may introduce creative tools when clients are comfortable with them.

Her background is rooted in humanistic training, and she has added practical approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to her practice. That blend means conversations can be practical and reflective, depending on what someone needs that week.

Mehreen offers both short-term and longer-term counselling for individuals. She aims to help clients develop new perspectives and practical coping strategies rather than promise quick fixes. Her approach is direct but approachable, focusing on what people want to change and how they can get there.

To begin, clients use an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The service uses a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Approach and how online sessions are structured

Mehreen commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety and anger. ACT encourages noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values rather than getting stuck trying to avoid emotions.

Her humanistic and attachment-informed background means sessions also attend to the relationship between therapist and client. That helps when dealing with relationship issues, grief, self-esteem or problems that involve trust and closeness. Choosing the best approach is collaborative; she will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care when life is hectic, and Mehreen will discuss practical arrangements during the initial matching and scheduling process.
