(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. Her name appears at the start so people know who they will meet.

She has 14 years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. She works from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and build on existing strengths.

Background and approach

Conversations are direct and practical, with space to talk about feelings and to plan small changes. Her approach mixes several evidence-based methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to act in line with their values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns now. Client-centred methods mean the person leads the pace and focus of work.

Dialectical skills are drawn on when managing intense emotions or developing coping strategies. Maria works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career decisions and compassion fatigue. She can also support people with abandonment, adoption or blended family issues.

Sessions are offered in English and available for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, depression and difficulties that persist despite attempts to control uncomfortable feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behaviour changes. It is useful for stress, low mood, worry and many everyday problems where changing thinking or habits brings relief.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences influence current ways of relating and managing emotions. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, commitment worries and long-standing patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That decision can shift over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and talk with the counsellor in real time for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel without losing continuity of support.
