Misma Hemming

My work is from psychodynamic perspective which means it emphasises on unconscious thought, the conflict between biological drives and society's demands, and early experiences; childhood and family. It helps clients understand their emotions and unconscious pattern of behaviour by talking through these emotions and behaviours.
