Muna Salaad, BACP

Muna Salaad is a counsellor with six years' experience who helps people work through relationship problems, grief and addictions. She is a BACP member and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult things.

Muna believes the relationship between counsellor and client is where most change happens. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused, and treats small and large problems with equal respect. People come to her for help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and for support after loss or life changes.

She also works with those affected by toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse and dysfunctional family patterns. Addictions, bereavement and workplace issues are areas she has particular experience in. She is familiar with pregnancy-related concerns including termination, IVF, stillbirth, traumatic birth and postnatal depression.

Muna uses a blend of approaches to match a person's needs rather than one fixed method. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and using techniques that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions can be short or long term depending on what someone wants.

Clients may find her style steady and practical. She aims to make therapy a place to untangle feelings, learn small skills for everyday life, and plan next steps when things feel overwhelming.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they relate to others and practise different ways of connecting or setting boundaries when relationships feel difficult.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and respect to help someone find their own answers. In remote sessions this approach creates space to reflect and feel heard even when that happens over video or messaging.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then try practical changes. It suits issues like anxiety, depression and stress and can include short exercises between sessions to build new skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will adjust methods over time so the plan fits the person's needs.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone needs flexible, ongoing contact. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
