About Hemlata
Counsellor Hemlata Mistry is a member of BACP and NCPS with three years of UK practice. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and related concerns listed in her profile, and she conducts sessions in English across the United Kingdom.
Hemlata focuses on helping people manage overwhelming feelings and practical problems. She talks through coping strategies for stress and anxiety and supports people dealing with grief or loss. She also works on anger management, motivation and improving self esteem and confidence.
Her work draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when it is relevant. That approach looks at how distressing events affect current feelings and responses, and helps people reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions. Hemlata uses clear, step-by-step methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Sessions are shaped around the concerns a person brings. Conversations aim to be direct and respectful, with practical steps to try between meetings. Hemlata also helps people think through issues such as addiction, career pressures, eating and family-related stress without assuming one solution fits all.
She notes additional focus areas including abandonment, attachment issues, domestic violence, bereavement, hospice and end-of-life matters, and feelings such as guilt, shame or emptiness.

Trauma-informed approaches and online counselling
Hemlata uses Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. This approach looks at how distressing events continue to affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It often involves identifying unhelpful patterns and practising new ways to respond to triggers, which can help with anxiety, intrusive memories and strong emotional reactions.The choice of approach is usually explored together. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree on a plan to try. That collaborative process can include reviewing what works and making adjustments as therapy progresses.
Details about exact online session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their usual routines, for example shorter calls during a break or video meetings when longer conversations are helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help match session style to personal circumstances.
