About Mehreen

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to bring everyday struggles and longer‑standing problems. Her way of working focuses on listening and helping people make sense of what they are feeling and doing.

She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics, which shapes how she meets clients and manages sessions. Mehreen aims to create a place where people feel heard and understood while they talk through relationship worries, anxiety, depression, stress and grief.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting pressures, career strain, issues around intimacy, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD and challenges connected to family of origin or adoption and foster care.

Mehreen draws on a mix of practical talking therapies. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify patterns that keep problems going, and client‑centred listening to help people feel accepted. Attachment‑based thinking and emotionally focused ways of working inform her approach to relationship and attachment difficulties.

Sessions are relaxed and focused on what the person wants to change. Mehreen works collaboratively to set goals and try manageable steps between meetings. This approach is intended to help people build clearer thinking, better coping and steadier day‑to‑day routines.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting overwhelmed and choose values that guide action; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with worry, sleep and stress. Attachment‑based work focuses on patterns from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and intimacy.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try ways of working that suit them. That means approaches can be blended and adjusted over time rather than fixed at the first session.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, cut travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It also means people in other regions can work with a counsellor who speaks English, Hindi or Urdu and who uses these therapeutic approaches to help with relationship issues, trauma, parenting concerns and everyday stresses.
