About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali uses a mix of practical therapy methods to help people get through hard times. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and self-esteem struggles.
Mehreen speaks English and offers sessions from the United Kingdom. Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. She treats each session as the client's time to talk and choose the pace.
How Mehreen works
Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used to spot patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice difficult feelings while taking steps towards what matters to them. Mehreen draws on attachment-based and existential ideas too, focusing on how relationships and meaning affect wellbeing.
She may offer creative tools when that suits the person in front of her. The style stays flexible because what helps one person may not suit another. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience.
That background contributes to a calm, non-judgemental setting for talking things through. Sessions aim to be collaborative and rooted in everyday language rather than clinical jargon. Starting therapy is framed as a step people take at their own pace.
Mehreen encourages gentle exploration and practical steps, whether the work is brief or ongoing. Her practice centres on listening, clarity and helping people find ways forward they can live with.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps towards what matters. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, offering empathy and understanding rather than advice. This approach can help when someone needs a steady space to talk through confusing or painful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the person's pace and needs. This is a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or moments when typing feels easier than speaking.
