Meltem Hussein

Meltem Hussein is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who is registered with the BACP, the professional body for counsellors. She invites people to learn about how she works, recognising that counsellors use different approaches and that a brief conversation about method can help people decide if it is a good fit.

She describes counselling as a talking treatment in which client and therapist explore what the client wants to change and work toward practical, manageable steps forward. Meltem views the process as one that helps people access their capacity to heal, grow and shape a life that better reflects their values and hopes. She aims to support meaning-making and the recovery of inner resources that may feel lost due to distortion, mistrust or life experiences.

Clients can expect a warm, genuine and respectful attitude in sessions. Meltem uses a range of ways to work together, including drawing and writing when these methods suit the person. She emphasises that sessions are tailored to the client - after all, these are the client’s sessions.

Meltem holds a diploma in Counselling and undertakes continuing professional development through specialised training courses. She has helped people find relief from a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, guilt, trauma and abuse, and has experience working both in private practice and within a bereavement service.
