Background and approach
She often focuses on confidence, motivation and managing grief or loss while addressing relationship and parenting concerns. Her background is rooted in humanistic practice, so sessions tend to be person-led and practical. She will suggest tools and exercises when they seem helpful, and she may use creative options if the client is comfortable with them.
Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs. Mehreen emphasises the client as the expert in their own life. She aims to build a trusting environment where people feel heard and understood.
The work is collaborative and paced around the individual’s goals. She offers online options that include video calls, phone work and text-based contact. Mehreen accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, tailoring the approach to each person’s situation.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and it supports taking actions that match what matters to someone. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help when intimacy, trust or connection feel difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mehreen will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods may help most. She aims to adapt techniques collaboratively so the plan fits your needs and pace rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video sessions are useful when visual contact helps the conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and let the therapist and client try different formats to see what works best.
