About Meltem Hussein
Meltem Hussein is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With five years of clinical experience and a diploma in counselling, she continues professional development through specialised training to keep her practice informed by current methods and thinking.
She works by exploring what a client wants to change and finding manageable steps forward. Meltem believes people already possess the capacity to heal and grow, and therapy is a collaborative process of meaning making that helps clients rediscover inner resources that can feel lost after experiences of distortion, mistrust or trauma. She seeks to tailor the therapeutic work to each person's needs rather than expecting every issue to suit a single model.
Clients can expect a warm, genuine and respectful stance in sessions. Meltem sometimes uses drawing and writing as alternative ways to access feelings and reflect on experience, alongside talking therapies. Her practice has supported people facing depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, trauma and abuse, and she has worked in both private practice and within a bereavement service.
She has experience working with international clients and can offer a range of approaches to suit different needs. Meltem is not currently accepting new clients. Instagram - therapywithmh

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Meltem draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and close connections; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment, trust and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work - it focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathetic space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the process, which suits those seeking a supportive environment to process feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that maintain distress.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Meltem approaches that choice collaboratively, discussing options and tailoring methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing one set method.
Online therapy with Meltem can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access regular appointments, continue work during life transitions, and engage in therapy from locations that suit the client while still working with registered professionals and therapists committed to supporting progress.
