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 who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing addictions, career strain and life transitions.

Her approach centres on trauma-focused therapy when trauma or past hurt is part of the problem. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people identify triggers, notice patterns, and try different ways of responding to strong feelings.

Hemlata also helps with problems tied to relationships and attachment, such as feelings of abandonment, jealousy, codependency and isolation. She offers support around difficult life events including divorce, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and coping during serious illness.

When someone brings food or body image issues, she looks at the emotions and behaviours that keep those problems going. She can talk through shame, guilt and dissociation alongside more concrete behaviour changes that might help day to day.

People can expect a respectful, direct style in sessions. She works with goals the person sets, adjusts the plan as needed, and addresses practical stresses as well as deeper emotional wounds. The first appointment is used to clarify priorities and choose steps to work on next.

How sessions work

How trauma-focused work and online sessions fit together

Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past harm still affects feelings, thoughts and behaviour now. It involves talking through difficult memories in a paced way and learning skills to reduce intense reactions. This approach can help when anger is connected to earlier abuse, neglect or upsetting events.

In sessions she also focuses on practical skills for managing strong feelings. That includes noticing triggers, breathing and grounding techniques, and testing different ways of responding to conflict. This work is aimed at helping people handle anger in daily life, such as at work or in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your situation, goals and preferences and will recommend whether trauma-focused methods or other practical steps are most useful. This decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals like her can adapt pacing and techniques to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
