Meltem Hussein, BACP

Meltem Hussein is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. With a diploma in counselling and five years of clinical experience, she combines several therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and goals. Meltem works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and many other life transitions and coping issues.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative exploration through talk-based work, supported when helpful by drawing or writing as alternative ways to process experience. Meltem has worked in private practice and within a bereavement service, and she continues professional development through specialised training to refine her skills. She helps clients rediscover inner resources, make meaning from difficult experiences, and build more fitting ways of living when past patterns or mistrust have made that hard.

Meltem offers flexible access to therapy for clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her approach is warm, genuine, and respectful, focused on finding treatment methods that fit each individual rather than forcing a single model onto every client.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Meltem draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach helps when difficulties with trust, abandonment, intimacy, or longstanding attachment concerns feel central to a person’s distress.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship and supports clients to find their own solutions. This method is helpful for people seeking a non-directive space to process feelings, increase self-understanding, and develop self-compassion.

In addition, Meltem integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems such as anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, or stress. CBT provides practical tools alongside reflective work to support change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Meltem works collaboratively to match methods to each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so therapies complement one another when that best serves the work.

Online therapy with Meltem is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent support from registered professionals without the need to travel, helping therapy fit into busy or geographically dispersed lives.
