(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso, BACP

(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and motivation struggles. She works with issues such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver strain and ageing and geriatric issues. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, encouraging people to use their own strengths as they work through hard times.

Asuncion believes people know their story best. She offers a steady, listening presence and helps clients notice what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than jargon. She helps clients set small, realistic goals and builds on what already works.

Her clinical toolkit draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and increase psychological flexibility, and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s perspective and collaboration.

With 14 years of experience and BACP credentialing, Asuncion brings a mixture of practical experience and professional standards to her practice. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is comfortable supporting people through life changes, caregiver stress, and issues that commonly arise with ageing.

To begin, she invites people to reflect on what they want from counselling and to take one small step towards it. Early sessions often clarify priorities, establish short-term plans, and agree on a way of working that fits the person’s life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what really matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when thoughts or feelings feel difficult. It can suit people managing anxiety, depression, chronic stress or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical experiments to shift them; it is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and some behavioural concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early connection patterns shape current relationships and can help people improve communication and emotional responses in close relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the approach as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to feed back what works so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life changes.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone concentrate. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote conversations, using worksheets, guided practices and goal-setting that suit each person’s routine.
