About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, trauma and low self-esteem. She supports those dealing with depression, motivation struggles and life changes such as career shifts or grief. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth. She frames the client as the expert on their own story and offers support to move towards a more fulfilling life.
Maria uses straightforward, conversational work in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns that get in the way. She draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps that matter.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how earlier connections influence present difficulties. Dialectical behaviour therapy tools come into play for emotion regulation and crisis coping in short, teachable steps. The overall stance is warm and client-centred, aiming to build confidence and useful skills rather than labels.
She has 14 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs her clinical judgement and everyday tools. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values and take small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practising simple behavioural changes to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns from early life and how they affect current connections, useful for intimacy and relationship-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques together, adjusting based on what helps, and combining ideas when useful rather than committing to a single model from the start.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as fitting a short check-in around work, avoiding travel time, or choosing a format that needs less bandwidth. It also allows continuity for people living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to practise the same CBT, ACT and attachment-focused tools they would in person, adapted to the practicalities of remote meetings.
