(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso, BACP

(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a UK-licensed therapist who brings a strengths-based approach to her clinical work. She works collaboratively with people experiencing stress and anxiety, those coping with addictions, and individuals affected by trauma and abuse. She also supports clients who are seeking greater motivation, improved self-esteem, and increased confidence.

She views each person as the expert on their own life and draws on their existing strengths to navigate challenges and move toward a more fulfilling, happier life. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and she offers steady support and practical guidance throughout that process. As a member of the BACP - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - she integrates evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance to help people identify goals and make meaningful progress.

Her style is warm and empowering, focused on helping clients build resilience and develop tools they can use beyond the therapy room. She aims to create an environment where people feel heard, respected, and encouraged to explore the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life while learning simple strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation, and persistent unhelpful thinking.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It supports work on relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and themes such as abandonment or attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides structured techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and habits, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and behaviour change work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. She works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit varied schedules. This range of options helps clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
