About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, addictions, career stress and identity issues.
Meltem describes counselling as a talking approach. Sessions involve discussing what the client wants to change and agreeing practical steps that feel manageable. She uses conversation alongside creative tools such as drawing and writing when helpful.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas inform how Meltem looks at close relationships and the emotions that come with them.
She holds a diploma in counselling and maintains individual registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Continuing professional development is part of her practice and she has experience working in private practice and a bereavement service.
People come to her for many problems, including bereavement, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, sleeping problems and difficulties around intimacy and communication. Meltem aims to help people re-find resources that feel lost after distressing experiences.
If previous therapy did not resolve concerns, she notes that different therapists use different models. She will discuss which methods may suit a person best and adjust the work as needs change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Meltem works from several practical models. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can be practised between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current feelings and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client to help them make sense of their own priorities and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meltem will explore goals, preferences and practical needs together with the client and agree which methods to try first. She adapts the mix of techniques as progress and feedback indicate what is most useful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find these practical benefits help people keep momentum between sessions and apply new skills in everyday situations.
