About Meltem

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and relationship problems. Sessions are presented as talking time to figure out what you want to change and how to make that change feel manageable.

She describes counselling as a way to re-discover inner resources that can feel lost after difficult experiences. Meltem uses conversation and sometimes drawing or writing so people can express themselves in different ways. The first meetings focus on what matters most to the client and on practical next steps.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques among other models. That mix is intended to help people understand patterns, notice triggers and practice small changes that reduce reactivity. Meltem explains what each method involves and discusses which ones might help in a given situation.

Meltem has a diploma in counselling and maintains her BACP registration. She has worked in private practice and in a bereavement service, supporting people through grief, trauma and adjustment after loss. That experience informs how she helps people manage anger linked to grief or relationship strain.

People who come for help with anger, parenting stress, workplace frustration or past trauma often begin by naming a single problem to focus on. Sessions then look at ideas and small, practical strategies to reduce heated reactions, repair relationships and build steadier coping over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Meltem combines client-centred methods with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what they want to change. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect reactions now. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify thought patterns and test small behaviour changes to reduce anger and worry.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and make that decision together, based on the person's goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process includes reviewing practical steps and exercises to try between sessions.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in if time is limited, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments while they work on managing anger, improving communication and building coping skills.
