About Mehreen
Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a counsellor who uses trauma-informed and humanistic ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening to support people through grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Mehreen holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises from the United Kingdom.
Sessions are held in English and international clients are welcomed. Mehreen believes people are the experts in their own lives.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and helps clients notice strengths they already have. This approach can help with motivation, confidence and long-standing patterns that feel stuck. Her practice mixes short and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
She uses a humanistic foundation and will introduce tools from different approaches when helpful. Creative exercises may be offered but only if the client is comfortable with them. In sessions Mehreen focuses on practical steps and simple skills alongside open conversation.
That might mean spotting unhelpful thinking habits, practising new ways of relating, or clarifying values to guide decisions. The aim is clearer thinking and steadier coping day to day. Mehreen has five years of professional experience and supports people with a wide range of concerns.
These include trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and eating or sleeping difficulties. She offers a kind, steady presence while people work through change.

How trauma-aware approaches and online therapy can work together
Mehreen draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of distressing experiences and their impact on daily life. This approach looks at how past events affect feelings and behaviour and supports gradual, paced steps towards feeling steadier.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify their values and take small actions that matter to them. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while building meaningful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the individual's goals, background and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while maintaining continuity of care.
