About Hemlata

Hemlata Mistry uses a trauma-informed, person-centred way of working. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the after-effects of trauma. Hemlata keeps sessions practical and respectful, and she aims to make each conversation feel straightforward and useful.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Hemlata supports people coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem and motivation difficulties. She also helps those facing addiction concerns, career pressures, eating and food-related issues, and the strain of life changes.

How Hemlata works

Her additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, dissociation, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also works with people dealing with cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness. Men’s issues, jealousy and isolation are within her remit as well.

In sessions Hemlata adapts the dialogue and plan to what each person needs. She aims to be sensitive and compassionate while keeping things grounded. Conversations often include practical coping strategies and steps to build confidence and routine.

Hemlata offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows according to therapist availability.

Online support options

Trauma-informed care and online therapy options

Hemlata uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people address the effects of past hurt and abuse. This approach looks at how traumatic experiences affect thinking, emotions and behaviour, and it supports practical steps to reduce distress and build safety in daily life.

She also works in a person-centred way that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to each individual. That means planning is collaborative and adapted to your goals, whether you want to manage anxiety, cope with grief or rebuild confidence after difficult events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hemlata will listen to your needs and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try and how to pace sessions. This lets you test what helps and change direction if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging suits ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
