About Hemisha
Hemisha Priya Singh is an AHPRA-credentialled counsellor with four years of hands-on experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. Hemisha aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to untangle painful patterns and find clearer steps forward.
Hemisha works collaboratively to tailor conversations and plans to each person. She uses evidence-informed methods such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness strategies to help manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
How Hemisha works
Sessions are grounded in listening first, then choosing skills that fit the person’s life. Common concerns Hemisha addresses include trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career uncertainty, problems with sleep, anger, self-esteem and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach balances practical strategies with emotional support. Hemisha describes therapy as a step-by-step process. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the person and identifying small, achievable changes.
Later work includes skill practice, tracking progress and adjusting the plan as needed. People who prefer a direct but empathetic counsellor tend to find her approach helpful. Hemisha emphasises collaboration and clear goals, and she encourages clients to set the pace.
She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and helps people move forward at a manageable rate.

Online support options
How Hemisha blends therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and homework to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hemisha treats this as a team effort and will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily routines. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan if something does not fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are helpful for full conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, homework support or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family commitments while still accessing appropriately qualified therapists.
