Meltem Hussein , BACP

Meltem Hussein is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She holds a diploma in Counselling and continues to update her skills through ongoing professional development. Meltem frames counselling as a conversational process in which therapist and client explore what the client wants to change and identify manageable steps forward. She believes people possess the capacity to heal and grow, and her work focuses on helping clients rediscover inner resources that can feel lost after experiences of distortion, mistrust, or life difficulty.

Clients can expect a warm, genuine, and respectful attitude in sessions, and Meltem offers creative options such as drawing and writing alongside talk-based work. She has worked in private practice and within a bereavement service, supporting people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, trauma, and abuse. Meltem describes her practice as tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, drawing on multiple models and approaches to match treatment to each person’s needs. Prospective clients are invited to learn more about how she works and to consider whether her integrative style fits their expectations. Instagram - therapywithmh

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional safety. It helps people understand relational hurts, repair attachment wounds, and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own experience, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so individuals can explore feelings, clarify values, and grow at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Meltem works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the work rather than assuming one model suits everyone, and sessions can combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow people to access consistent support from different locations, while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress and practical strategies.
