About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, motivation, confidence and mood difficulties. She also offers support around relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges and money and financial issues. Maria is based in the United Kingdom and brings 14 years of clinical experience and a BACP credential to her work.
Maria believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. She aims to create a calm space where a worried person can talk through what is most pressing. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as helping a person notice what matters most to them.
Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods with a warm, listening style. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action, and attachment-based work to address relationship patterns. She also draws on client-centred and dialectical behaviour ideas to keep the work grounded and compassionate.
Maria has spent many years supporting people through life changes, career stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. She offers tailored help for concerns such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also includes work with adoption and foster care themes, caregiver stress and blended family dynamics.
If someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, so people can arrange care around their life and needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Maria uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and patterns that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can suit worries about money, work or sleep. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they care about and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for motivation, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current trust and intimacy concerns, which helps with relationship strain and some emotional triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's situation, goals and preferences and suggest options. Sessions often combine elements from different methods so care fits the individual rather than following one fixed model.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same therapeutic conversations and tools online as in person, helping people apply learning between sessions and manage everyday life more easily.
