Meltem Hussein, BACP

Meltem Hussein meets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She offers calm, straightforward guidance for those coping with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters and try small, realistic changes that fit everyday life.

Meltem uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. She works from ideas drawn from attachment-based and client-centred ways of working and also uses elements of cognitive behavioural techniques. This means conversations can include looking at current thinking patterns, feelings about close relationships and practical steps to manage daily routines.

She trained to diploma level in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over five years she has supported people with depression, trauma and bereavement, and she has experience in bereavement services and private practice.

Her style is warm and respectful. Meltem sometimes uses drawing or writing together in sessions when that helps someone explain themselves more easily. She encourages people to rediscover inner strengths that may feel lost after difficult experiences.

Meltem helps people work on issues including self-esteem, addiction, parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD and sleep problems. She also supports those facing attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems and adjustment after major life changes.

How Meltem’s approaches shape online work

Meltem uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect everyday feelings and reactions; this is useful for people struggling with trust, intimacy or long-standing patterns with others. She also draws on client-centred counselling, which means sessions begin with the person’s own goals and move at their pace while the counsellor provides active listening and empathy. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small practical changes that can ease daily stress and sleeping problems.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Meltem will discuss what matters most to the person and try different ways of working until a comfortable fit is found. She aims to agree on clear goals together and to review progress as therapy continues.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the service to confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work and treatment for anger, addiction or ADHD, and it can allow shorter check-ins or options that do not require travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as drawing, writing and cognitive exercises for remote sessions to keep therapy practical and grounded in daily life.
