About Meltem
Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship problems. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can begin to feel a little steadier. Meltem works in English and accepts international clients who want to explore change by talking things through.
She describes counselling as a talking process where the client and counsellor decide together what to change.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what feels manageable, with options such as drawing or writing offered when useful. Meltem emphasises meaning making and helping people reconnect with inner resources that can feel lost after difficult experiences. Meltem holds a diploma in Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She keeps up her skills through ongoing professional development and specialised training courses. Her background includes independent practice and work within a bereavement service. Across five years of practice she has supported people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma and relationship difficulties.
She also describes additional focus in areas such as parenting strain, addiction, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work draws on several approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person. Clients can expect a warm and respectful manner in sessions.
The pace and methods used are negotiated together, so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single approach. Practical options are discussed based on what the individual finds most helpful.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Meltem draws on existential thinking to help people find meaning when life feels confusing or overwhelming. This approach looks at choices, values and personal responsibility to help people make sense of change and loss.She also uses attachment-based ideas which focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps with trust, communication problems and recurring relationship difficulties by identifying patterns and practising new ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Meltem works collaboratively to match methods to your goals and preferences, so sessions may shift between reflective, practical or exploratory styles depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, childcare or travel and keep therapy consistent even when life changes.
