About Veronica
Veronica Prieto is a counsellor with four years' professional experience and a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registration. She grew up in Spain and has lived in central London for over 35 years, so she understands the challenge of learning a language and adapting to a new culture.
Veronica draws on long experience supporting carers of children with disabilities and vulnerable adults in previous roles. She uses that background to relate to everyday stresses and anxieties people carry into therapy.
Background and approach
Veronica keeps her sessions warm and down-to-earth. She prioritises genuine connection and listening first. Together with each person she sets clear, realistic goals and chooses practical ways to work on them.
She aims to build on a person’s strengths and small wins to create change. Her style is friendly and non-judgemental. Veronica uses a mix of approaches, matching methods to what each person prefers and needs.
She will explain options and agree a plan rather than impose a single way of working. People often come to her for parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, or coping with life changes. She also supports those facing trauma, relationship or family problems, ADHD-related difficulties, and career or financial worries.
Veronica offers sessions in English and Spanish and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her background in hands-on carer support informs practical suggestions in sessions. Veronica helps clients try small, manageable changes between meetings and reviews progress together.
She emphasises adaptability, respect for cultural differences, and steady, collaborative work toward each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a trusting, respectful relationship where the person leads the pace and topic of work. This helps when someone needs empathy, understanding and personal space to make sense of things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through different ways of working, explain what each method involves, and agree a plan that fits the client’s needs and goals. Sessions can shift over time if a different focus would help more, and decisions are made together.
Online therapy offers flexible options for staying consistent with appointments. Video calls let people see visual cues and feel closer to a normal conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter notes, progress updates, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and help maintain momentum between sessions.
