Mehreen Haroon-Ali , BACP, NCPS

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a UK-based therapist who brings a warm, open-minded approach to counselling and psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence, offering both short-term and longer-term support. Her practice is client-led, rooted in humanistic values, and shaped by training in cognitive behavioural methods and other person-centered approaches.

Mehreen aims to create a non-judgemental space where each person can explore their story and build on their strengths. She may use creative tools when appropriate and welcomed by the client, and adapts her methods to suit different needs rather than applying a single technique to everyone. The work focuses on helping individuals find practical ways to move forward while uncovering new perspectives and resources for change.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy. Mehreen accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients as well. When clients are ready to begin, she offers a range of session formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and in-app messaging - to support flexible access to therapy.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Mehreen integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgemental, empathetic stance where the therapist supports the client to explore feelings and discover personal solutions, which can help with self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and explores how early bonds influence current relationship difficulties and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is addressed collaboratively. Mehreen will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and together they will decide which methods to prioritise and adapt as progress unfolds.

The online format - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - makes therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life changes, and engage in ways that feel most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
