About (Maria)
Counsellor (BACP) with 14 years of experience, (Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso works in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and related concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients may be accepted.
Maria uses clear, conversational methods in sessions. She listens to each person's story and helps them name what is happening. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred work to look at thoughts, feelings and everyday patterns. Practical strategies and reflective conversation are combined so people can try things between sessions.
Her practice also includes approaches that focus on emotional connection and values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape current ones. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps towards it.
Maria has worked in the field for 14 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That membership is shown here exactly as supplied. She draws on this experience when planning support and discussing options with clients.
If someone is unsure about next steps she asks a few practical questions first. People are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then to schedule a first session so they can talk about goals and how to work together.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps towards those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help people understand repeating relationship problems, issues with trust or strong emotional reactions to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the methods above and others she uses, and will help the client choose what fits best based on goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who need to schedule a session during a break from work.
