Muna Salaad, BACP

Muna Salaad is a counsellor with six years' experience who aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult issues. She works from the belief that the relationship between counsellor and client is where most of the progress happens. Muna encourages clients to bring whatever feels pressing, no matter how small it may seem.

She is trained with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers both short and long-term therapy depending on what someone needs. Muna has particular experience supporting people facing bereavement, addictions, and physical or emotional abuse. She also helps with pregnancy-related challenges such as termination, IVF, stillbirth, traumatic birth, and postnatal depression.

Muna uses a blend of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred principles, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means she listens closely, helps clients spot unhelpful patterns, and develops small, practical steps to change day-to-day feelings and actions. Sessions include space for reflection as well as practical coping strategies.

She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, stress, anger, self-esteem problems and career or life transitions. Additional focuses include attachment issues, codependency, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Muna accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions around the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and are managed through a cancellable subscription.

How Muna’s approaches work in online therapy

Muna draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and helps people learn different ways of relating and feeling safer with others.

She also uses client-centred principles that focus on listening and following what matters most to the person in the room. This gives time for people to make sense of their experiences and decide what change would look like for them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, is used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build small, practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or stress. CBT work can include short exercises between sessions and clear goal-setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may combine different ideas over time to suit what is most useful.

Confirm available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during breaks. Talk to the therapist about timing, length of sessions and any practical adjustments to suit day-to-day routines.
