About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with trauma, grief and confidence issues. Parents and carers concerned about parenting strain or caregiver stress will find focused, practical help. Adoption and foster care is listed among her areas of focus and she can address related worries.
Maria uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people spot what matters most. She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Sessions aim to build small, achievable steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
She draws on several well-known counselling approaches to shape sessions to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to focus on values and take action even when feelings are hard.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and emotions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities and experience.
Maria has worked professionally for 14 years and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English. To begin, people follow a simple sign-up and matching process and then arrange sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online

It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where motivation and values matter.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships influence current feelings and patterns, and it can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment worries and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
