About Veronica
Veronica Prieto brings a personal and practical perspective to counselling. Born in Spain, she has lived in central London for over 35 years and understands the strain of adapting to a new language and culture. Veronica emphasises clear connection and trust as the basis for helping someone begin to feel steadier.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Veronica spent more than 20 years giving practical and emotional support to carers of children with disabilities and to vulnerable adults before moving into counselling.
How Veronica works
That background shaped how she listens and responds to day-to-day pressures. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. Veronica helps people set realistic goals and discover strengths they can use to cope better.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques rather than jargon, so ideas discussed can be tried between sessions. Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and trauma and abuse among other areas. She is also attentive to issues such as multicultural concerns, prejudice, adoption and foster care, and neurodiversity factors like autism.
Veronica offers therapy in English and Spanish and works with people based in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Her sessions can suit those who prefer talking through problems, learning small practical steps, or reflecting on life direction.

Online support options
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a genuine relationship. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and discover their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers concrete strategies to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions and the way they affect relationships and self-understanding. It is often used when people want clearer ways to understand emotional pain and how to move through it.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Veronica will discuss different methods with the client and together decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and travel.
