About Mehreen

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She also sees people struggling with guilt and shame and other issues that affect day-to-day life.

Mehreen offers a calm space where clients can talk through what is troubling them. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics in her work. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change or understand better.

Her practice draws on approaches including cognitive behavioural work, client-centred methods, and attachment-based thinking. She uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. This might include looking at thoughts that drive behaviour or how past relationships shape current feelings.

Common topics she addresses include coping with life changes, managing stress and burnout, relationship and intimacy problems, and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, body image concerns and issues around adoption and attachment.

Sessions are conducted in English and Mehreen can also work in Hindi and Urdu. International clients are accepted. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and to schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on what matters to the person and encourages small, values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to try new responses. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from early relationships and how they show up in current connections and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses different methods with the client and chooses what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as the work develops.

Session formats in this profile are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering a choice about being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can describe the practical formats they offer when you arrange your first session.
