About Hemlata
Hemlata Mistry is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, career strain and the pressures of family and parenting.
Hemlata uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma and abuse are part of the picture. She helps people who feel stuck after painful events or who carry ongoing effects from past hurt. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and build clearer ways of coping.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens to the specific problem, and then helps the client try practical steps that fit their life. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what keeps it going, and small changes that make daily life easier.
Hemlata has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with grief linked to cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, and separation after divorce. Men’s issues, feelings of emptiness, jealousy and shame are within her stated areas of practice.
Sessions are conducted in English and are set up through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Trauma-informed approaches and online session options
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people understand how past harms affect everyday reactions. It uses careful, step-by-step work to reduce overwhelming memories and to teach ways of coping with triggers.When trauma plays a role, the therapist helps clients recognise patterns that keep them stuck and introduces techniques to manage strong feelings. For stress, anxiety or grief the emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies that can be used between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together what to try first. That discussion shapes the plan and any adjustments that follow.
Session format options are not specified in the profile, so please confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work or medical commitments, and may allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's day. Registered or accredited professionals provide remote sessions that aim to fit therapy into everyday life rather than add strain.
