About Mehreen
Mehreen Salman is a counsellor with a BACP credential who offers support for everyday struggles and deeper emotional issues. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is happening in their life and how it affects their behaviour and wellbeing.
She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics, and frames sessions around respect and clear boundaries. Sessions are intended to be a space where people feel heard and understood while exploring practical options for change.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working that focus on the person’s experience and pace, and attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Mehreen has five years of experience supporting people with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. She also works with people facing addiction, work stress, and identity-related concerns including LGBT matters.
Sessions can address more specific themes too, like adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and end-of-life concerns. The aim is to help people build more helpful ways of coping and to find clearer options for moving forward.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and getting unstuck from old patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when relationship patterns, trust or emotional closeness are causing ongoing distress.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace, offering empathic listening and support to help someone explore their concerns and make choices. It is helpful for many issues including self-esteem, life transitions and parenting stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on a way forward together. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as things change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit a short break or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging or chat work well for shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
