Meltem Hussein , BACP

Meltem Hussein is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people whether they have previous therapy experience or are new to counselling, explaining how different counsellors use varied methods and tailoring work to each individual's needs.

Therapy with Meltem focuses on open conversation - exploring what a person wants to change and finding manageable steps forward. She believes that individuals already possess the capacity to heal and grow, and that therapy can help rediscover meaning and inner resources that may have been lost through distortion, mistrust, or difficult life experiences.

Clients can expect a warm, genuine, and respectful attitude in sessions. Meltem offers creative options such as drawing and writing alongside talking as ways to explore issues, keeping the sessions focused on what feels most useful to the individual.

She holds a diploma in Counselling and continues professional development through specialised training. Meltem has supported people experiencing depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, trauma, and abuse. In addition to private practice, she has provided counselling within a bereavement service. She is active on Instagram as therapywithmh.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options with an Integrative Focus

Meltem uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and relational responses; this approach can be helpful for people struggling with connection, trust, abandonment, or attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach - it emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work, supporting self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Meltem works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as therapy progresses to find the best match.

Online therapy with Meltem is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or while travelling, and they allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for their work.
