Meltem Hussein

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She welcomes people whether they have tried therapy before or not. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded so daily life becomes easier to manage.

She uses talking, drawing and writing to work through problems. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on finding steps that feel manageable. Meltem believes people have inner resources to heal and rediscover meaning after difficult experiences.

Meltem holds a diploma in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has practised for five years and continues with specialist training to keep her approach flexible.

Her background includes private practice and work in a bereavement service. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulty, trauma and addiction related concerns. Meltem also lists areas like ADHD, parenting stress and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.

In sessions she aims to be warm, genuine and respectful. Therapy is tailored to the individual rather than fitting everyone into one model. If drawing or writing feels helpful, these are offered alongside conversation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and close relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness and anger so they can try different responses.

Client-centred therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to understand their own priorities and make decisions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing strong reactions like anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Meltem will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as understanding grows, so decisions are made together based on needs and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. They also make it possible to use writing or drawing exercises during a session without needing extra material.
