Meltem Hussein, BACP

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who aims to help people finding their way through hard times. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Meltem uses clear, practical conversation and sometimes drawing or writing to help people find what matters to them and move forward.

She describes counselling as a talking process where the client sets the goals. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps toward that change. The work also looks at meaning, past patterns and how those shape present choices.

Meltem is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she holds a diploma in counselling. She has five years of experience and continues professional development through further training.

Her practice brings together several therapeutic ideas rather than using only one model. This means she adapts the way she works to fit each person’s needs, drawing on different methods as they are useful. Many people find this flexible approach helps when earlier therapy did not resolve their concerns.

Meltem has supported people in private practice and within a bereavement service. She aims to offer a warm and respectful space where people can recover inner resources and build a life that better matches their values and hopes.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current bonds and trust. In online work this can mean talking through relationship patterns and discovering safer ways of relating to others and oneself.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, helping them make their own choices and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and works on practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems by testing new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go, so the plan can change if needed.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when required, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work well at a distance and help clients apply new skills in everyday life.
