(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso, BACP

(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem and trauma. She also supports clients facing depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and career strain. Her name appears first because she prefers a direct, personal way of working.

She listens with a calm, straightforward manner and focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions emphasise practical steps along with space to make sense of hard feelings. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths.

Her background includes 14 years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That experience has involved work with a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, bipolar conditions and issues linked to adoption and attachment.

Therapy draws from several recognised approaches. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work for changing thoughts and habits, acceptance and commitment ideas for living around difficult feelings, and attachment-informed ways to look at close relationships. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single script.

People who meet her can expect conversations that aim to be clear and practical. The focus is on making small changes that fit everyday life. She supports clients as they try things out and reflect on what helps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them stop valued action; it supports coping with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behaviour, which can help with stress, sleep problems, and mood. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early and close relationships shape expectations and responses, useful for intimacy, relationship strain and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something feels unhelpful.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are provided before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It can also make some sessions simpler by using phone rather than video when less bandwidth is needed or when a brief catch-up is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and behavioural tasks to an online setting so practical change stays central to the work.
