Meltem Hussein, BACP

Meltem Hussein is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship problems, anger and a range of other life difficulties. Sessions are talk-based and may include drawing or writing as ways to reflect and process.

Meltem describes counselling as a collaborative process where she helps people figure out what they want to change. She focuses on meaning-making and on helping people reconnect with inner resources that feel lost after difficult experiences. Expect straightforward, respectful conversation that aims to make change feel manageable.

Her training includes a diploma in counselling and ongoing professional development through specialised courses. Meltem has worked in private practice and within a bereavement service, supporting people through loss and other challenges. That background informs how she attends to grief and related concerns.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches rather than a single model. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among others. Practical exercises, reflection, and creative tools such as drawing or writing can all be part of the process.

People who come for anger concerns can expect to look at triggers, responses, and patterns alongside other life issues such as relationships or stress. Meltem invites clients to shape the work and to choose the techniques that feel most useful for them.
