About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. She supports those managing grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns along with sleep and eating difficulties.
She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on building practical ways forward. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm. Conversations include identifying what matters most, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying out new behaviours between meetings.
Her practice draws on several approaches to give people concrete tools. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports deciding what matters and acting on those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand relationship patterns that affect trust and closeness.
Maria also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for managing strong emotions and Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s concerns. She will talk through coping strategies for stress, anger, and work-related pressures. Sessions often include practical exercises and clear next steps to try between meetings.
She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, the site’s matching process is used to choose an initial appointment and to outline what a first session will cover.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, even when anxiety or fear is present. It is useful for people who want help deciding what matters and building steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches concrete skills for reducing anxious thinking and avoidance. That approach is well suited to social anxiety and phobia-related worries. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships to understand how earlier experiences shape current trust and closeness, which can help with intimacy-related and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods during early sessions and collaborate on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist will try techniques, review how they go, and adjust the plan together based on progress and preferences.
