Misma Hemming, BACP

Many of Misma's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and low mood - it teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that stabilise mood and energy. This can help with stress, depression and worry.

Another frequently used approach targets trauma-related reactions and teaches grounding and pacing techniques. These methods help people feel less overwhelmed by painful memories and regain control over strong emotions. They are often used alongside practical planning for safety and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Misma works together with each person to identify which techniques feel most useful. She adapts methods to fit a client’s goals, pace and what feels manageable in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people write when it fits their day. These options help make therapy accessible for people with varied schedules and locations.
