(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship or family concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood challenges and coping with life changes.

Her counselling blends a few well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work are often woven together to address thoughts, feelings and patterns in relationships. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and a client-centred stance are also used when helpful to teach emotional regulation and improve communication.

She has 14 years of experience and holds a BACP credential, which reflects professional registration in the UK. Asuncion talks in straightforward language and keeps therapy practical. She encourages people to try techniques, then adjust them to fit daily life.

Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, people are advised to confirm the current session options available through the service, so they know which formats are offered.

How therapy approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it often includes practical exercises to do between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together decide which methods to try first. She adapts techniques as progress is made, so the plan can change if something does not feel helpful.

The original biography did not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people living abroad to work with registered or accredited professionals in the UK. Overall, online work can support consistent practice of the skills discussed in sessions while fitting around day-to-day commitments.
