Mehreen Haroon-Ali , BACP, NCPS

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a UK-licensed counsellor with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low motivation, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths clients already possess to overcome difficult moments.

Known for a warm, friendly, and open-minded manner, Mehreen offers a non-judgemental space where clients can explore their concerns and begin to shape a new outlook on life. Her practice blends short-term and longer-term counselling, drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and humanistic, client-centered principles developed during her initial training. She adapts her approach to meet individual needs and may introduce creative tools when clients are comfortable using them.

Mehreen is accredited with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and holds NCPS as an additional professional counselling credential. Her style is client-led, which means she supports people to set the pace and focus of therapy while offering guidance based on evidence-informed methods.

She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to be a reliable, compassionate partner in each client’s journey. When clients are ready to begin, Mehreen invites them to get in touch and start exploring their path to change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mehreen draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and focus on values-based action, which can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and creating a safe space where clients lead the conversation so they can explore identity, relationships, and self-worth at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills for issues like stress, low mood, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mehreen works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from different locations and on varied schedules. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient while working with licensed professionals to address the issues that matter most to them.
