About (Maria)

(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related struggles and anger. She supports those facing trauma, low self-esteem, depression and motivation issues. She also addresses relationship concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties. Asuncion works with people on career pressures, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue as well. Asuncion believes people are the experts in their own lives. She uses that as a starting point and helps clients build on their strengths. The first step can feel daunting, and she aims to offer steady support while people find a clearer way forward. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. She combines talking therapies that focus on thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to practise small, practical steps between meetings. With 14 years of experience, Asuncion draws on several evidence-based approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment and client-centred ideas. Those methods inform how she helps people manage strong feelings and recurring patterns. Asuncion is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People who want to begin are invited to make a first booking and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression and anger where changing behaviour matters more than changing every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and improve routines. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions. It can help with relationship struggles, grief and difficulties with trust. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds to different methods. That conversation is collaborative and can guide which techniques are used over time. Please confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the original profile did not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to attend when moving between locations. For some people video sessions suit longer conversations, while phone or audio-only meetings use less bandwidth and can be helpful for quick updates or when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists listed here, can help choose the best arrangement to fit everyday life and therapeutic goals.
