About Meltem

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor who focuses on helping men and others work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. She uses a conversational, down-to-earth style so people can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions can include talking, writing or drawing depending on what feels helpful to the individual.

Meltem aims to help people find practical ways forward that feel manageable. She believes people have inner resources to heal and grow, and therapy is about re-discovering those resources. This plain approach makes it easier to tackle issues such as low mood, sleeping problems, addiction, or trouble with self-esteem.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and holds a diploma in Counselling. Meltem has around five years of practice experience and continues professional development through additional training.

Her background includes work in private practice and in a bereavement service. That experience has informed her approach to grief, loss and trauma, and to supporting people through major life changes such as career shifts or relationship endings.

When someone starts work with Meltem they can expect a warm and respectful space where the therapist adapts methods to what the person needs. The focus is on clearer meaning, practical coping strategies, and small steps that fit into everyday life.

How Meltem's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and build safer ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an open, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and discovers their own answers. This approach suits people who need time to reflect and find clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meltem will discuss goals, preferences and daily life with each person and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues appear.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to keep therapy in a busy life - fitting a session into a lunch break, reducing travel time, or having shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows the therapist to use the same creative tools remotely, such as guided writing exercises or suggested drawing tasks, and supports steady progress even when schedules are tight.
