About Mehreen

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through relationship and personal challenges. She offers a calm, accepting presence where clients can talk about what is worrying them. Mehreen works in English, Hindi and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and aims to create a non-judgemental space for honest conversation. In sessions she listens first, then helps people name what is happening and choose practical steps to try between meetings.

Mehreen uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link, is used alongside person-centred work that focuses on the client's own goals. Attachment-based ideas also inform her thinking about how past relationships shape current patterns.

She regularly supports people with anxiety, depression, stress and self-esteem issues. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related matters and family-of-origin problems are also areas she helps people explore. Additional focuses include addiction, ADHD, grief and coping with life changes.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Mehreen often suggests small experiments or exercises to try between sessions. She encourages clear, manageable steps so people can see progress in day-to-day life.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worries, avoidance or life changes get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying practical exercises to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and closeness, and it can be useful when intimacy or communication feels difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as goals and circumstances evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy lives, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Online work can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest suitable techniques to use in remote sessions and will help tailor the format and pacing to your needs.
