About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and parenting challenges. She also supports concerns such as relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and career stress. Her approach is rooted in treating each person as the expert of their own life and building on strengths to move forward.
She uses short, clear conversations to help people notice what matters to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. The aim is to reduce distress and increase choices in daily life rather than rely on one-size-fits-all answers. With 14 years of professional experience, Asuncion brings a steady, experienced presence to sessions.
Her training includes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership reflects professional standards she follows in the UK. Asuncion blends methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work.
She draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centred ideas as fitting for each person. This mix helps when people need emotional regulation, clearer thinking, or to repair difficult patterns in relationships. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients are accepted. Starting is a simple online process where people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange times that suit them.

How Asuncion uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions, even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people notice repeating dynamics so they can try new ways of relating and repair strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Asuncion will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means plans are adapted as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and try new strategies in everyday settings.
