(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso , BACP

(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a UK-based therapist with 14 years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Maria approaches each person as the expert on their own life, working from a strengths-based perspective to build on what is already resilient and resourceful within them.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical support, guiding clients through the steps that make change possible while acknowledging that seeking help takes courage. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can explore difficult feelings, develop coping strategies, and rebuild confidence. Whether someone is managing a crisis or seeking long-term growth, Maria offers evidence-informed tools and a steady presence to support that work.

Maria also brings sensitivity to relational and identity issues, and she works with people who are navigating grief, relationship problems, or life transitions. Her practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible when therapy is tailored to a person’s goals and values and when the therapist and client collaborate toward clear, achievable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Maria uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, helping clients explore connection, trust, and intimacy issues that affect relationships and self-worth. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts techniques over time so the therapy remains relevant and practical for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to continue work through life changes, and to connect with a licensed professional from different locations, while maintaining the same focus on building skills, insight, and well-being.
