About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues and life changes.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She treats the person, not just the problem, and asks about strengths and daily routines. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings, and on noticing patterns that keep problems going.
She draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act in line with what matters to them despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based ideas are used when early relationships affect current ones.
Clients who bring complex issues such as addiction, ADHD, or blended-family stress will find a focus on coping strategies and relationship patterns. Work can include skills practice for emotion regulation and clearer communication. The aim is to build practical tools for everyday life rather than labels or quick fixes.
Sessions are conducted in English and Maria accepts international clients. She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session, so she can understand current concerns and needs.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts, and to build small experiments that change everyday thinking and behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it focuses on do-able changes and clear steps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions based on their values despite those feelings. ACT can be helpful when someone wants to manage ongoing stress, grief or parenting strain without waiting for feelings to change first.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will talk with the person about problems, goals and preferences, and will suggest which methods to try. That suggestion is revised as progress and needs become clearer, so the approach can shift over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life and work. It can reduce travel, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or make it simpler to attend when living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online sessions to offer the same therapeutic focus and skills practice as face-to-face work.
