About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are anxious, stressed, grieving or stuck in repeated patterns. She works in a warm and respectful way and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who may be worried about starting counselling.
Meltem uses talking, drawing and writing to help people find what they already have inside to heal and change. She describes counselling as a shared process.
Background and approach
In the room she will help you identify what you want to change and take small steps toward those goals. Meltem believes people can re-discover inner resources that feel lost after difficult experiences. Meltem is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP.
She holds a diploma in Counselling and continues with professional development through specialised courses. That background informs the way she tailors sessions to individual needs. Her practical experience includes work in independent practice and a bereavement service, supporting people through loss, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
She has five years' experience overall and draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person. Where appropriate she will mix talking therapy with drawing or writing exercises. Sessions are shaped around the person’s goals and comfort, with attention to meaning making, attachment patterns and how past experiences affect present life.
Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. It helps people understand patterns in relationships, attachment worries and fears of abandonment. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, offering acceptance and empathy so someone can find their own answers without pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that best match the person’s needs and adapt them as progress is made.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility around work and family life. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, day-to-day coaching or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
