About Misma

Misma Hemming works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, family and parenting concerns, intimacy issues, eating matters, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood issues, coping with life changes, coaching and ADHD. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts conversations to the person in front of her. Misma is a BACP member and has around 10 years of clinical experience.

Misma trained to degree level in psychology, holding a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Her background includes work in the national health service, universities, charities and private practice. That range of settings has given her experience with different kinds of practical and emotional problems.

In sessions she keeps explanations clear and uses approaches supported by research. She focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions as well as exploring difficult memories or patterns that cause distress. Sessions are generally conversational, with structure where needed to move toward clear goals.

She aims to be respectful and sensitive in her work and to adapt the way she talks and plans treatment to each person. Misma supports people to identify what they want to change and to build everyday coping strategies that fit their life.

For someone who has felt stuck after trauma, or who is managing mood swings, parenting stress, or worrying thoughts, Misma offers steady, practical support. Her experience across NHS, academic and charity settings informs a flexible approach to different problems and life stages.

How Misma uses evidence-based approaches in remote work

Many of Misma's methods come from research-backed approaches that focus on thoughts, behaviour and coping skills. One common method aims to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practise clearer, more balanced ways of thinking; this helps with worry, low mood and anxiety-related problems. Another approach concentrates on changing behaviours and building routine skills, such as sleep habits, activity scheduling and step-by-step exposure to feared situations; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and some compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Misma will discuss options with the person she sees and agree a plan based on their goals, current difficulties and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may include trying a method for a set number of sessions to see how it helps.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier fitting of appointments into work or family days and fewer journeys to attend. If you need clarity on which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling lets them check in more often and keeps the focus on clear steps and tasks they can use between appointments.
