About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience working with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Her practice is described as integrative, and she uses talking alongside creative methods such as drawing and writing.
She invites people to be clear about what they want to change and to set manageable steps toward that. Sessions are conversational and practical, focusing on making meaning and finding ways to use inner resources that feel lost or blocked. Meltem aims for a respectful and genuine professional manner in sessions.
Her training includes a diploma in counselling and ongoing continuing professional development. That background has informed work in private practice and in a bereavement service. She has supported people with trauma and abuse, bereavement, anxiety and depression among other concerns.
Meltem integrates several approaches rather than relying on a single method. She can use attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, client-centred ways of listening, and cognitive techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking. She adapts the mix to what a person needs rather than applying one fixed model.
Creative options such as drawing and writing can be introduced if they feel helpful. People who have tried therapy before are invited to discuss that experience so the work can be shaped differently if needed.
How her approaches translate to online work
Meltem draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust. This approach can help when issues show up in friendships, intimate relationships or family dynamics. It focuses on recognising patterns and trying different ways of relating.She also uses client-centred practice, which means listening carefully and following the person's priorities during sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) features as well, offering practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going.
Deciding which of these methods to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan. That collaborative process helps make sure the approach fits what the person wants to achieve.
Session arrangements are not listed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, creative tasks like writing or drawing, and CBT tools to an online setting so that therapy fits everyday life.
