Misma Hemming, BACP

Misma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and understanding. One common approach she uses helps people learn coping skills and ways to manage overwhelming feelings; this can be helpful for anxiety, stress and mood swings. Another approach emphasises reflecting on past events and their impact so a person can make sense of trauma and long-standing difficulties; this suits those who need to understand patterns and heal from painful experiences.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Misma will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life, then try methods that fit. She adapts what they do together as understanding grows and needs change, so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people see visual cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, reflection between sessions, or for those who find writing easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
