About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low. She supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, and people who want to build self-esteem and motivation. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep and eating issues, and career or life changes.
Asuncion works in a way that puts the person’s experience first. She treats each person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her background includes 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates a registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches so she can adapt to different needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural approaches to help with unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are included to help people notice values and take meaningful action.
Attachment-informed work and client-centred listening shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. People who come to Asuncion can expect a collaborative process. She asks about personal goals and prefers short, practical steps alongside deeper emotional work.
To begin, a short matching form and a scheduling step get the process started.

How (Maria) works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and some eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made over time to find the best fit.
The biography does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth options are needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and check-ins so therapy remains practical and focused even when sessions are not face to face.
