About Misma
Misma Hemming is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges. She also helps with grief, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, anger, self-esteem and life changes. Misma draws on ten years of clinical experience in different settings to offer steady, practical support.
She trained in psychology, holding a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Background and approach
Over her career she has worked in the national health service, universities, charities and in independent practice. That variety means she has seen many different situations and practical ways to respond. In sessions Misma focuses on plain, direct conversation about what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
She tailors each plan to fit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Expect clear goals, gentle challenge and steps you can try between meetings. For parents she offers a calm space to talk through the strain of raising children and the personal impact of parenting decisions.
She helps people think through boundaries, routines and communication strategies that can ease everyday pressure. People meet her by remote sessions that include video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and will work with each person to find an approach that suits their life and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Misma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she applies helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practise alternative ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method is useful for mood issues, worry and everyday coping skills.She also works with trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult events at a pace that feels safe. These approaches aim to reduce the power of painful memories and improve day-to-day functioning for those affected by past abuse or shocks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Misma will discuss options with each person and decide together which techniques fit their goals, needs and comfort level. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult, phone sessions can be a low-bandwidth alternative, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping treatment consistent and accessible.
