About Hemlata
Hemlata Mistry works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, anger and self-esteem using Trauma-Focused Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
Hemlata supports people who are coping with addiction, career concerns, eating and food-related issues, and depression. She also works with those facing life changes, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to attention and focus. Practical conversations aim to identify what feels most pressing and manageable in day-to-day life.
Her practice includes work on attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and the emotional impacts of domestic violence or separation. She also provides support around guilt, shame, forgiveness and feelings of emptiness. Sessions address practical steps as well as emotional processing.
People affected by bereavement, hospice and end-of-life concerns, cancer-related distress or isolation and loneliness can explore their responses in sessions. Hemlata offers support for men’s issues and jealousy alongside the broader list of stress-related topics.
In the first meeting she focuses on what the person wants to change and on setting simple goals. Subsequent sessions combine talking, reflection and techniques drawn from trauma-focused work to reduce overwhelming reactions and improve coping. Work proceeds at the person’s pace and concentrates on clear, achievable steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and Hemlata does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Trauma-Focused Therapy is used in online sessions
The main approach Hemlata uses is Trauma-Focused Therapy, which centres on recognising and working with responses that developed after distressing events. This approach involves gentle processing of difficult memories and learning ways to reduce overwhelming emotional or physical reactions.
Sessions also focus on practical coping skills for stress, anxiety and grief. That includes short, structured exercises and paced discussion to help people manage day-to-day symptoms and routine demands alongside deeper trauma work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hemlata will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest ways of working that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and options can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during shorter breaks. They can also permit quieter conversations without needing to travel, depending on what is most convenient for the person.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
