About Meltem
Meltem Hussein offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties. She introduces therapy in plain terms and works with each person to identify small, practical steps. Meltem meets people where they are and helps them find a clearer way forward.
She describes counselling as a talking process where the client sets the goals and together they look for manageable changes. Sessions combine conversation with creative options such as drawing and writing when that feels helpful.
How Meltem works
Meltem aims to foster a warm and respectful space so people can reconnect with strengths that sometimes feel lost. Meltem has a diploma in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience working in independent practice and within a bereavement service.
That background has shaped a flexible approach to different kinds of problems. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and abuse, addictions, identity and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and life changes.
Additional interests include attachment, codependency and body image. Meltem draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. She explains options clearly and invites questions so the plan fits individual goals.
People who prefer a thoughtful, person-focused way of working tend to find her style suitable.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Meltem commonly draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. This helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or feeling disconnected. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on the person’s own goals and pace, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and reflect. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meltem will talk through the different options, listen to what you want to achieve and suggest what might work best. Together you can adjust the style and focus over time so the therapy stays relevant to your goals.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Text or chat options suit people who prefer written reflection or need quick, flexible contact. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
