About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and major life changes. She works with people dealing with grief, depression, addiction and issues around self-esteem. Meltem also supports people affected by trauma, intimacy concerns and the strain that comes after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are talk-focused, with room for drawing or writing when that feels helpful. She encourages clients to identify small, manageable steps that lead to change and to reconnect with strengths that feel lost or damaged.
Meltem is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds a diploma in counselling. She keeps up her skills through continuing professional development and specialist short courses. Her background includes work in private practice and a bereavement service, where she supported people through loss and transition.
In the first meetings she helps people set clear aims and chooses methods to match those goals. She describes therapy as a process of meaning-making and recovery of inner resources. Practical tools and reflective conversation are mixed depending on what each person needs.
Sessions aim to be warm and respectful. Meltem frames therapy as the client’s work, guiding rather than directing, and adapting methods so sessions feel personally relevant and manageable.
How Meltem blends recognised approaches for online work
Meltem commonly draws on client-centred and attachment-based ways of working. Client-centred work focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers, which suits issues such as low self-esteem and life decisions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help with intimacy problems, trust and relationship difficulties.She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. Each approach is explained in simple terms and adapted to the person’s goals. Identifying the best fit is part of the early sessions and is decided together based on the client’s needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often adapt the methods above to remote sessions, keeping practical tasks and reflective conversation central to progress.
