Hemlata Mistry, BACP, NCPS

Hemlata Mistry works from a trauma-informed approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of abuse. She uses straightforward conversations and practical steps to support people through loss, anger and low self-esteem. Hemlata is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings three years of professional experience to her practice.

Her sessions focus on what matters most to the individual. Hemlata listens for patterns that cause distress and helps people try small changes that make daily life easier. She also offers support for addictions, eating and food-related issues, and coping with major life changes like divorce or bereavement.

Many people bring complex histories of attachment, abandonment or shame into therapy. Hemlata works calmly through these issues, including trauma, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to cancer or hospice and end-of-life concerns.

Her style is respectful and direct. Conversations are tailored so each person can set goals and try practical coping tools. Hemlata helps people explore forgiveness, guilt, jealousy and codependency while building clearer emotional boundaries and better self-care routines.

For those struggling with ADHD, isolation, anger or men’s issues, she offers focused, down-to-earth support. The work aims to improve day-to-day functioning and increase a sense of control over emotions. Hemlata encourages gradual progress and gentler expectations as people work towards more stable wellbeing.

Trauma-informed approaches and online sessions

Hemlata works from a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and the impact of past abuse. This approach breaks down overwhelming experiences into smaller pieces so people can build tolerance and regain control over emotions and reactions.

Alongside trauma work she uses practical, goal-focused conversations to address anxiety, stress, grief and difficulties with self-esteem. These discussions centre on clear, achievable steps such as coping strategies, boundary-setting and routines that improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Hemlata collaborates with each person to agree which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She will check progress and adapt plans so the approach fits as therapy continues.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written check-ins or want to work without being on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days.
