About Veronica

Veronica Prieto is a counsellor with four years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She came to the United Kingdom from Spain and has lived in central London for over 35 years, so she understands the stress of adapting to a new language and culture. Veronica offers a calm, warm presence and a straightforward way of talking about difficult issues.

Before training as a counsellor, she spent more than 20 years giving practical and emotional support to carers of children with disabilities and vulnerable adults.

Background and approach

That work shaped her approach and keeps her focused on practical solutions and realistic goals. She draws on life experience as well as counselling skills to help people through change. Veronica’s style is friendly and non-judgemental.

She works with each person to agree on goals and to choose approaches that feel right. Sessions focus on building trust, identifying strengths, and finding steps the client can try between meetings. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and trauma and abuse.

Veronica also supports people facing work and career issues, eating concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD and a wide range of family and multicultural matters. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients. People can expect clear explanations, practical ideas to try, and a steady, collaborative pace when working together.

How Veronica’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects back what they hear and helps the person find their own solutions; this suits people who need space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and suggests practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood when someone wants clear, step-by-step tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica discusses different methods with each client and decides together what to try first. She adapts the style based on what the person finds most helpful and on the issues they want to focus on.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging give a shorter, written way to check in or follow up between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and possible around work, family and travel commitments.
