About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people manage anxiety, stress and addictions. She also supports those facing trauma, low self-esteem and changes that feel overwhelming. She speaks English and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Maria holds a BACP credential and brings 14 years of experience to her practice. She sees therapy as a collaborative process. She starts by listening to the story people bring.
Then she helps set clear, achievable goals and picks straightforward tools to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and grounded in everyday life rather than in jargon. Her approach draws on a mix of methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas. That mix lets her match techniques to each person's situation, from panic and worry to relationship strain and grief.
She often uses skills work, values clarification and gentle exploration of past patterns. Maria aims to create a calm space where people can name what is hard and practise new ways of coping. She will help clients break problems into small, manageable steps.
Progress is measured in real-life changes like sleeping better, feeling less overwhelmed, or handling cravings differently. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book times that suit them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, worry and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence each other and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the client involved at every step.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review or when someone prefers typed communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
