About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She uses conversation, drawing and writing to help clients name problems and find manageable steps forward. Her approach aims to help people reconnect with strengths that feel lost after difficult experiences.
Meltem works in a way that is tailored to each person. She describes counselling as a talking treatment and focuses on what the client wants to change. Sessions are calm and respectful, and she offers practical ways to try out new perspectives between meetings.
She holds a diploma in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Meltem has five years of practice experience and continues professional development through additional courses.
Her background includes private practice work and counselling in a bereavement service. She has helped people with depression, anxiety, trauma and loss, and with ongoing struggles such as addiction, low self-esteem and sleeping difficulties.
Meltem draws on several therapeutic ideas when planning work with someone. She looks at patterns in relationships, thoughts and behaviour to make sense of current problems. Together with each person she agrees clear goals and ways of working that fit their life and values.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Meltem uses client-centred work to prioritise the person’s own priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, which can suit those wanting a gentle, exploratory way forward.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect present feelings and behaviour. This can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeated relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meltem will discuss your goals and preferences and agree an approach that fits your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as things progress.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. If you plan to work remotely, confirm the session formats offered when you book so you know how meetings are arranged. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
