About Mehreen

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She meets people who are struggling with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, intimacy issues and difficulties with sleep or eating.

Mehreen offers a calm, respectful counselling approach based on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics. Sessions give people a chance to speak about day-to-day problems and the patterns that affect their mood and behaviour. She uses plain language and gentle questioning to help clients name what matters to them.

Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and interaction patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take small steps. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas together with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts, behaviour and relationships.

Mehreen is able to work in English, Hindi and Urdu and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. If someone wants to begin, the first step is to use the site matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with practical issues and relational patterns. Sessions typically focus on noticing feelings, understanding recurring reactions and trying different ways of relating or coping between meetings.

Approaches in online sessions and practical benefits

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and how those emotions shape patterns between people. It can help when recurring emotional reactions keep causing the same problems in close relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, and choosing actions that match what matters to the person. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress where choices about behaviour are important.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they influence current relationships. That approach can help people spot repeated relational habits and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which combination of EFT, ACT or attachment-focused ideas to use and review how it is going as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a busy day, or making it simpler to speak from a quieter room. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer online sessions and will explain how they run meetings when you book.
