She also works with those managing grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Asuncion is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Asuncion works in a straightforward, respectful way. She believes people know their own stories and brings a calm, listening approach to sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical steps that fit each person's life.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods. These approaches are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try small changes, and build clearer choices over time.
With 14 years of experience in the UK, she has supported people with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar difficulties, relationship and family stress, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related strain. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiver stress and body image.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Asuncion encourages practical coping plans, clearer communication skills and ways to reconnect with meaningful goals. She welcomes conversations about how therapy might fit into everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and motivation issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and encourages small practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for stress, sleep and low mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through the options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift over time as needs change.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue sessions while living in another country, subject to scheduling and professional guidelines.
