Mehreen Salman, BACP

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring everyday worries and more painful issues. Mehreen listens closely and helps clients make sense of what is happening in their life.

Her approach is practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. She uses a mix of talking, reflection and structured techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and cope with strong emotions.

Mehreen works across a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions and grief. She also supports people facing issues such as body image, attachment concerns, communication problems, hoarding and end-of-life worries. Her practice includes support for LGBT matters and ADHD-related difficulties.

She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and emotionally-focused methods. Mehreen adapts these to each person’s goals and pace, explaining options in plain language. Her BACP registration is noted as the professional credential she holds.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu. People can meet her by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes by teaching practical exercises and mindful awareness. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating and feeling safe in relationships. It can assist with attachment issues, intimacy-related struggles and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions in collaboration with the client. That means methods can shift over time as needs change rather than sticking to a single model.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone works well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat suits people who prefer typing through thoughts, and messaging lets clients reflect over time between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping the therapeutic aims clear and practical.
