About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She introduces straightforward ways to talk through difficult experiences and to find small steps that start to feel manageable again. Meltem meets people where they are and focuses on what each person wants to change.
She explains therapy as a talking process and helps people make sense of what has happened to them.
Background and approach
That can include working through trauma and abuse, relationship pain, or long-term low mood. Sessions can also use drawing or writing as ways to access thoughts and feelings that are hard to say out loud. Meltem is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She holds a diploma in counselling and continues professional learning through specialised courses. She brings five years of practice experience, including work with a bereavement service and independent practice. Her approach is flexible rather than fixed to a single method.
She adapts ideas from different models to fit each person’s needs. That means practical tools as well as time to reflect on meaning and personal values. You can expect a warm, respectful way of working.
Meltem aims to help people reconnect with inner strengths that feel lost after distressing events. Together she and the client plan doable steps toward feeling better and more in control.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Meltem often combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and patterns, helping people understand why they react in certain ways and how to build healthier connections. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre - the counsellor listens without judging and helps the person find their own solutions and direction.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying small, practical changes to break difficult cycles. Together she and the client will decide which approach or mix feels most helpful. Finding the right method is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or while travelling, and they allow different ways to work depending on the issue and personal preference.
