About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 14 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and career stress.
Maria frames the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions and spotting the patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people find small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions move at a steady pace and aim for concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how feelings shape relationships and personal choices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools when these fit someone’s goals. Client-Centred methods are used to keep the work grounded in the person’s own priorities.
People come with many concerns including trauma, addiction, ADHD, mood swings and caregiving stress. Maria listens for the patterns behind those difficulties and helps people test different ways of responding. Practical skills for managing anxiety, distress tolerance and communication are offered as needed.
Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and pace. Maria encourages small experiments between meetings so progress can be noticed and adjusted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and personal choices. It helps people who struggle to name feelings or who repeat unhelpful relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters to them, then taking small committed actions toward those values. This approach is useful for anxiety, avoidance and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That conversation shapes whether EFT, ACT or other tools are used and how sessions proceed; the client helps decide what feels most helpful.
