Meltem Hussein

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn down by life. She works with worries such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is warm and respectful and she offers simple ways to talk through what matters to you.

She describes counselling as a talking process that looks at what you want to change. Sessions explore practical steps you can take and the thoughts and patterns that get in the way. Meltem also uses drawing and writing when that helps someone express things that are hard to say out loud.

Meltem holds a diploma in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of practice and continues with professional development through specialist courses. Her background includes work in private practice and counselling within a bereavement service.

Her work draws on several approaches so she can tailor sessions to each person. She focuses on finding meaning, rebuilding trust in oneself, and recovering inner resources that can feel lost after painful experiences. Meltem pays attention to attachment, how patterns began, and what practical changes might help now.

People come to her for help with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and identity. She supports people to regain a clearer sense of direction and to build manageable steps toward change.

Approaches that inform online work and how they help

Meltem draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings; this can help people understand recurring trust or intimacy issues. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers through empathic, non-judgemental support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical ways to change behaviours and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Meltem treats it as a shared decision. She will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together will try different ways of working until you find what helps most. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits your needs rather than a single fixed method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments while juggling work, childcare or other commitments.
