About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso specialises in helping people manage stress, anxiety and the impact of trauma. She supports people struggling with addictions, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also works with concerns such as depression, grief, relationship strain and sleep problems. Asuncion is based in the United Kingdom and practises with a BACP credential.
Asuncion takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for the strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and focus on small, manageable steps. The aim is to build skills that make daily life feel easier.
Her work draws on therapies that help people notice their thoughts and values, repair attachment patterns, and change unhelpful behaviour. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred principles, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These techniques are chosen to match the person and the problem.
Asuncion has around 14 years of professional experience and brings that background to sessions without taking over the story. She encourages clear goals and checks progress along the way. That makes it easier to see what is helping and what needs to change.
People often come for help with parenting stress, career issues, body image, compassion fatigue or managing ADHD symptoms. Asuncion also supports those facing life changes, grief, and long-standing patterns such as codependency or communication difficulties. She offers a calm, steady presence while people work through these challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and motivation difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client's pace so they can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt techniques to suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. It can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed, or to choose formats that suit concentration and bandwidth. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can work with people online to apply these approaches in ways that fit everyday routines.
