About Mehreen

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addiction and other life pressures. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu, and she accepts international clients.

Mehreen offers a straightforward setting where people can talk about what is troubling them. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and aims to keep professional boundaries clear. Meetings focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help with daily functioning.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thought and behaviour patterns that maintain distress. She also uses client-centred ways of working that focus on listening and reflecting what a person brings. Attachment-based ideas are used when relational patterns and early bonds seem important to current problems.

In sessions she helps people name what matters most to them and consider small, testable changes. Work can include talking through relationships, planning how to manage stress, or practising new communication approaches. She also supports people coping with grief, identity questions, and major life changes.

Mehreen encourages a collaborative pace. She checks in about what is useful and adjusts how she works as the contact develops. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and to take small actions that fit those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone feels directionless. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This can be helpful when couples or relationship patterns, trust and communication are central concerns. Mehreen will work collaboratively to choose approaches that suit a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is possible. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time, and choosing a quieter moment for a focused conversation. Some formats can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to proceed without video if that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit the practicalities of online meetings and everyday life.
