About Veronica

Veronica Prieto is a counsellor who brings four years of professional counselling experience and a long background in care work. She grew up in Spain and has lived in central London for over 35 years, so she understands the stress of learning a language and settling into a new culture. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and aims to make people feel heard and understood.

She spent more than 20 years providing practical and emotional support to carers of children with disabilities and to vulnerable adults before training as an integrative counsellor. That experience informs how she helps people manage life changes, long-term caring roles, and the pressures that come with different social or economic circumstances.

Veronica works in a warm, friendly, and non-judgemental way. She focuses on building a good connection and trust, then discusses preferences and goals with each person. Together they identify strengths that can be used to tackle stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and money and financial issues.

Her approach draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness, cognitive and emotion-focused methods to suit individual needs. Sessions are collaborative and practical, aiming to give tools people can use between meetings. Veronica invites people to talk about what matters and to agree the next steps at a comfortable pace.

She welcomes conversations in English or Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead and creates a space to talk through problems like stress, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It offers simple exercises to try between meetings that can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing difficult reactions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve connection and emotional regulation. It can be useful for processing loss, trauma, and identity questions.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Veronica will discuss different methods and decide together which suits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel, and using shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity through life changes and to try therapeutic tools between meetings.
