About

About Namreen

Namreen Ranjha is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She works with clients who want clearer thinking around relationships, coping with life changes, and addictive behaviours. Her approach is calm and unhurried, and she invites people to talk about what matters to them in straightforward terms.

With six years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Namreen focuses on creating an open space for conversation.

Background and approach

She explains things plainly and listens for patterns that matter to each person. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build practical ways to cope day to day. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice, so relationships and personal values often guide the focus in sessions.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and attention when anxiety or intense emotions appear. Solution-focused steps are included to set short-term goals and notice progress between meetings. Namreen speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu, and she is comfortable working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including LGBT clients.

She describes the first sessions as a chance to understand priorities and agree simple goals together. People choosing to work with her can expect a practical, empathetic style. She encourages gentle self-awareness, clearer communication, and small changes that add up over time.

Online support

How her approaches work in online counselling

Namreen uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness in her work. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections, which can help with trust, intimacy and commitment concerns. Client-centred practice means the conversation follows the person's priorities, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying rather than directing the process. Mindfulness techniques focus on simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions so therapy can better fit everyday life.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when they are time-pressed, while others appreciate meeting visually to read non-verbal cues. Discussing practical arrangements ahead of time helps match the format to your routine.
