Mehreen Haroon-Ali, BACP, NCPS

Mehreen Haroon-Ali is a warm, approachable therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works from a client-led, humanistic foundation that recognises each person as the expert of their own story and emphasises existing strengths as the basis for change. Mehreen supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence, offering both short-term and longer-term counselling depending on individual needs.

Known for a non-judgemental and open-minded style, Mehreen aims to create a space where clients can explore difficult feelings and discover new perspectives. Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered principles, and she adapts her tools to suit what feels most useful for each person. Creative techniques may be introduced when clients are comfortable with them.

All work is led by the client, with Mehreen accompanying people through their journey rather than dictating solutions. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating membership with professional counselling and psychotherapy bodies that reflect training and professional standards. When someone is ready to begin, Mehreen invites them to get in touch and start a collaborative process of self-discovery and growth.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Mehreen often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support people in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and develop practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings so they can move toward the life they want. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be especially useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathetic listening and space for self-exploration so clients can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mehreen collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mehreen is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, accommodate varied routines, and allow clients to choose the format that suits their communication style and practical needs.
