(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso, BACP
Compassionate counsellor for stress and LGBT concerns
Book with (Maria)About (Maria)
(Maria) Asuncion Fernandez Hemoso helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those working through relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, career stress, and challenges related to LGBT identity. Asuncion uses a calm and respectful approach, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.
She works from the belief that each person knows their story best and already carries strengths they can use.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on developing practical skills for day-to-day life. Asuncion encourages small, steady changes rather than overwhelming leaps. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She draws on a range of approaches to match the client and the issue, and she discusses options together so people can choose what feels right. In practice she blends evidence-informed techniques with client-centred listening. That can mean noticing thought patterns and testing new behaviours, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, or practising emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills.
The goal is clearer choices and more comfort in everyday situations. Asuncion aims to create a steady, respectful working relationship. She supports people through life changes, parenting stress, caregiving strains, and specific concerns such as eating, sleeping, ADHD and bipolar-related coping.
New clients are guided through a simple start process to find a good match.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction after life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people recognise and shift repeating dynamics in relationships.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Asuncion will talk through different methods and tailor sessions to the person's goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy days, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits the person, or longer sessions for more in-depth work. Many people find that working with a registered or accredited professional online helps maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult.
