Mehreen Salman
Compassionate counsellor for relationship and life changes
About Mehreen
Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor who aims to create a calm space for people to talk about what is worrying them. She introduces herself clearly and listens without judgment to whatever is on a person's mind. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change or understand.
With five years' experience she draws on several ways of working to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with anxious thinking and low mood by looking at patterns and testing new behaviours.
Background and approach
Client-centred methods put the client's perspective at the heart of sessions so they feel heard and respected. Mehreen also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That can be useful for people struggling with relationship issues, trust, or feelings of emptiness.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports people to identify and voice difficult emotions and to build more helpful ways of connecting with others. She is comfortable talking about a wide range of concerns, including stress, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, addictions, body image and career worries. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, family of origin issues, domestic violence, and end-of-life counselling.
Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu, and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. The first steps are simple: start the matching process, complete a short questionnaire and book a session according to availability.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can try through online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages committing to personal values and taking small actions that move life in a chosen direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy or repeated relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about each option and check in about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they plan an approach and make adjustments as progress is noticed or priorities change.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation over distance. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quiet audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life or when living in another country, while keeping therapy consistent over time.
