About Mehnaz
Mehnaz Mahmood is a counsellor who works with people experiencing stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds NCPS and brings three years of UK practice experience. She places respect and compassion at the centre of her approach.
Mehnaz aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried about seeking help. Mehnaz uses straightforward conversation to understand what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. She helps with motivation, confidence and self-esteem, and with problems that affect sleep or work.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with past trauma, relationship struggles and addictive patterns. Her sessions focus on listening, building a trusting connection and setting small, practical goals. She uses ideas from attachment work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used where people want help with thoughts and behaviour that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and grounding during difficult moments. Trauma-focused methods are applied when people carry the impact of past abuse or frightening events.
Mehnaz adapts her style to each person and works at a steady pace that suits their needs. Sessions are available in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu. Mehnaz practises in the United Kingdom and describes her process simply: listen, reflect and plan small steps forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist talks with each person about goals and preferences, then suggests which methods to use together. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted to what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational session. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers typing. These options give practical flexibility for different schedules and ways of working.
