Meltem Hussein, BACP

BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered counsellor. Five years' experience. Meltem Hussein works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, self-esteem and a broad range of other concerns including ADHD and compassion fatigue. She uses talking, drawing and writing as ways to explore what feels important to the client.

Meltem describes counselling as a talking treatment where the client and counsellor decide together what to change. Sessions focus on what the client wants to achieve and on practical next steps that feel manageable. She emphasises meaning making and helping people reconnect with resources that can feel lost after difficult life events or damaged trust.

Her approach draws on several models rather than a single method. She lists Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Therapy and Jungian Therapy among the approaches she uses. This mix allows her to match methods to the issue rather than forcing one standard treatment.

Meltem has a diploma in Counselling and maintains individual registration with the BACP. She also continues professional development through specialised training courses. Her background includes work in private practice and counselling within a bereavement service.

Clients can expect sessions where the counsellor adopts a genuine and respectful manner. Practical activities such as drawing or writing may be suggested alongside conversation to help people express themselves. Decisions about how to work together are made collaboratively in the early sessions.

She accepts international clients and sees people based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English.
