About Meltem Hussein
Meltem Hussein is a fully qualified 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 specialised professional development courses, bringing a broad and evolving skillset to her practice.
She frames counselling as a talking-based approach in which she and the client explore what the client wishes to change and identify manageable steps forward. Meltem believes people have the capacity to heal, grow, and shape lives that better reflect their values and desires. Her work often focuses on meaning making and helping people recover inner resources that can feel lost after distressing or trust-eroding experiences.
Meltem offers a warm, genuine, and respectful stance in sessions, and she adapts methods to suit each person rather than expecting a single model to fit every situation. She is trained in multiple theoretical approaches and uses creative methods such as drawing and writing when these suit a person’s needs, keeping the sessions focused on what works for the individual.
Her experience includes supporting people with depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, and trauma and abuse. Alongside private practice, she has worked within a bereavement service, and she aims to tailor therapy to each person’s particular circumstances and goals. She also shares professional updates on Instagram at therapywithmh.

Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Meltem draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach can help when difficulties with trust, closeness, or abandonment affect a person’s relationships and emotional responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises a compassionate, non-directive stance that helps people feel heard and supported while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her work as well, offering practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours often linked to anxiety, depression, and stress.
Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Meltem works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest pathways that feel most fitting, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy with Meltem is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that supports personal engagement and progress.
