About Misma
Counsellor Misma Hemming is a BACP member with around 10 years' experience working in the UK. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression among other issues. Misma's background includes work in the national health service, universities, charities and private practice, and she holds an MSc and a BSc in Psychology.
Misma uses straightforward conversation to help people manage difficult feelings and problems. She listens for what matters most and helps people find practical ways to cope. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma-related distress, low mood and relationship strain. Misma also supports people with parenting difficulties, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem problems. She has experience with bipolar difficulties, addictions, ADHD and career-related stress.
Clients meet a counsellor who aims to be respectful and sensitive in the work. Misma adapts the pace of sessions to each person and checks that the plan feels manageable. She explains options clearly and reviews progress as therapy continues.
People who choose to work with her usually start by describing their immediate concerns and goals. From there they agree practical steps to try between sessions. Misma offers a blend of reflective listening and goal-focused work to help people cope with life changes and build clearer ways forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Evidence-based talk work and practical techniques form the core of her approach. Cognitive-style methods look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to test and change them; these can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stress. Trauma-informed approaches focus on grounding and stabilising responses after distressing events, helping people manage strong reactions and rebuild day-to-day routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep short, regular appointments or to have check-in sessions between face-to-face meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking so you know what will suit your routine and technical setup.
