Mehreen Salman , BACP

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people facing emotional strain. She focuses on everyday problems that affect how people feel and act. Her first aim is to make sure people feel heard and respected during sessions.

She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She also helps with issues such as addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career challenges and coping with life changes. Women's issues are a named area of focus within her practice.

Mehreen uses a combination of well known approaches to guide conversations. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ways of working to help people notice what matters and try different responses. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how she thinks about close relationships.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics and brings five years of practice experience to her work.

People who choose Mehreen can expect straightforward, non-judgemental dialogue. She helps clients map practical steps, try new coping strategies and reflect on patterns that keep problems going. The tone in sessions is warm and collaborative.

Approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be helpful for intimacy-related issues and ongoing relationship pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to find the best fit based on their goals and preferences. That conversation guides which strategies are tried and how sessions are paced.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
