About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and sleep difficulties. She also helps with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Maria presents a calm, straightforward style and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
Maria works from the view that each person knows their own story best. She encourages clients to use their existing strengths when facing change. Conversations focus on practical steps and noticing small shifts that add up over time.
Her way of working draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy looks at values and practical actions that matter most to the client. Attachment-based ideas support understanding how past relationships shape current patterns.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Clients can expect to set clear goals, try out new strategies between meetings, and review what helps and what does not. Maria keeps language plain and avoids clinical jargon so people can follow and apply the work easily.
She brings 14 years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Maria practises in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. If someone is wondering how to begin, she guides them through a simple matching and scheduling process.
How chosen approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-led actions. Online ACT sessions often involve practical exercises and short behavioural tasks to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful patterns; online CBT commonly uses simple worksheets and behaviour experiments you can do at home. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions, and online work can include reflection, guided conversation and relationship-focused skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adapted as needs change over time.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make follow-up between sessions simpler. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm which options are offered before booking so the arrangement fits your routine and needs.
