Meltem Hussein , BACP

Meltem Hussein is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She holds a diploma in counselling and continues her professional development through specialised training courses to refine her practice and expand her skills.

Meltem approaches therapy as a collaborative, talk-based process that aims to identify what a person wants to change and to find manageable pathways toward those goals. She believes people possess the capacity to heal and grow, and she focuses on helping clients rediscover meaning and inner resources that can be obscured by distortion, mistrust, or difficult life experiences.

Clients can expect a warm, genuine, and respectful manner in sessions. Meltem offers a variety of ways to work together, including drawing and writing as therapeutic tools alongside conversation, tailoring the method to each individual rather than applying a single model across the board.

Her experience spans private practice and counselling within a bereavement service, and she has supported people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, and trauma and abuse. Meltem is trained in multiple theoretical approaches and adapts treatment to the needs of each client. Instagram - therapywithmh

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Meltem draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns shape current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. This approach can be helpful for people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment, or attachment issues.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship and supports clients in finding their own solutions. This approach is often useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life changes.

Where appropriate, Meltem integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Meltem collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods as the relationship and goals evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue therapy when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
