About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali works from an existential and humanistic perspective. She encourages people to look at meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing or painful. Mehreen speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who is worried about starting therapy.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer practical tools for coping with stress and anxiety. Mehreen also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people with relationship problems, grief, trauma and issues with self‑esteem.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small changes they can try between meetings. Mehreen has five years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with common concerns such as depression, addiction, parenting stress and career challenges as well as longer‑standing issues like attachment difficulties, commitment worries and abandonment.
She is comfortable addressing eating, sleeping and intimacy-related concerns too. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She offers short or longer-term counselling and adapts methods to suit each person.
Creative techniques may be used when the client is willing and they suit the issue being discussed. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing the service sign-up and matching process, then arranging sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice and personal values. It helps when life feels confusing, empty or overwhelming by inviting people to clarify what matters to them and make choices that reflect those priorities.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving towards valued goals. It is useful for anxiety, stress, depression and areas where avoidance has become a problem.
Attachment‑based work explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help when trust, intimacy or communication are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped together, and adjustments are made as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat is good for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and allow people to choose how they want to engage.
