Mehreen Salman, BACP

Mehreen Salman is a BACP counsellor who offers people a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what is happening in their life. She invites clients to bring everyday stresses, relationship worries, and longer-term emotional concerns. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and understood while exploring practical next steps.

With five years of experience, Mehreen draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sure conversations follow what matters most to the client.

Mehreen focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, grief, and self-esteem. She also works with people dealing with addiction, sleep and eating problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and family of origin issues.

Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu, and she accepts international clients. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics to guide her practice. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are asked to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time according to the therapist’s availability. Prospective clients are encouraged to check the current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gently focus on values-led actions. It suits those struggling with anxiety, low mood, or life changes who want clearer steps forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps. That conversation is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and quicker access for international clients. Some people find audio-only meetings help when they prefer not to use a camera, while others like a video call to read facial cues; confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments without promising a particular format.
