Mehnaz Mahmood is a counsellor who uses a person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. She holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Mehnaz speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and understandable.

She works in a respectful and compassionate way. Sessions often begin with simple conversations about what is hard right now.

Background and approach

Mehnaz listens for what matters most and helps people set small, practical steps to try between meetings. Her practice draws on approaches that look at how early bonds shape current feelings and behaviours. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thinking that keep stress and low mood active.

Mindfulness tools are offered to steady the mind and reduce overwhelm during difficult moments. Mehnaz has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems and divorce or separation.

Sessions aim to make everyday tasks feel more manageable and help people rebuild confidence. Therapy can include shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on need. Mehnaz describes beginning therapy as a team effort, where goals are set together and changed as progress is made.

To start, people use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times.

How Mehnaz’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mehnaz blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand relationships and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and helps people notice how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood, and then trying out small changes to break those cycles.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative way of working helps people feel involved and keeps the focus on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Messaging and live chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy around work, family and health demands.
