About Meltem
Meltem Hussein helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She introduces counselling in plain terms and invites people to talk about the changes they want. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in the United Kingdom.
Meltem is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a diploma in Counselling and continues to attend specialist professional development courses to broaden her skills.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in independent practice and within a bereavement service. In sessions she focuses on what a person wants to change and works at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations may include drawing or writing when that feels helpful.
Meltem aims to help people reconnect with inner strengths that can feel lost after difficult experiences. Her day-to-day work has included supporting people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, trauma and abuse. She also offers help around stress, self-esteem, addictions, sleep problems and career concerns among other issues.
Meltem describes her approach as integrative and tailors the work to each person rather than following a single method. That might mean drawing on attachment ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive techniques, existential questions or Jungian perspectives to match what the person brings. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
The process starts with a conversation about goals and what kind of support feels most useful.

How Meltem works online
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop concrete coping strategies. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress by breaking larger problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. Together they decide which ideas and exercises fit best for the person's needs and circumstances.
For practicalities, please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote conversation and written reflection, while creative options like drawing or writing can also be used in online sessions when helpful.
