About Meltem

Meltem Hussein works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and self-esteem. She describes counselling as a talking approach that explores what a person wants to change and finds manageable ways forward. Meltem is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience.

She uses a range of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on making meaning from past and present experience and on helping people reconnect with their own resources. Meltem may use talking, drawing or writing as ways to work through issues depending on what suits the client.

Her background includes a diploma in counselling and ongoing continuing professional development through specialist courses. She has worked in private practice and provided counselling within a bereavement service. That work included support for people facing loss and complex grief.

In practical terms Meltem will help a person set goals for therapy and choose methods that fit those goals. She notes that psychotherapy covers many different models, and that some problems respond better to particular approaches than others. This means she discusses options with each client rather than applying one fixed method.

Clients come for help with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, bipolar mood issues, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties. Meltem also lists additional focuses such as attachment and communication problems, body image, codependency and issues arising from blended families.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Meltem uses attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current difficulties; this can help with intimacy, communication and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings, using talking and reflective techniques to help people clarify goals and make decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meltem will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree an approach to try. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to use and when to adapt them.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video, which may suit people with limited bandwidth or quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help therapy fit everyday life.
