About Veronica
Veronica Prieto is a counsellor with four years' professional experience and a BACP registration. She lives in central London and speaks English and Spanish. Her background includes more than 20 years working directly with carers of children with disabilities and with vulnerable adults, which shaped her practical outlook on support and care.
Veronica understands the stress of settling into a new culture because she moved to the UK and learnt a new language herself.
Background and approach
She uses that personal experience to relate to people facing anxiety, change, or the pressure to fit in. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental and she aims to make talking feel straightforward and solid. In sessions she focuses on clear, shared goals.
Clients and Veronica discuss which therapeutic approaches feel right and then agree a plan. She helps people identify strengths and small steps that can ease overwhelming feelings and build confidence over time.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, eating issues, career worries and depression. She also addresses areas such as ADHD, multicultural concerns, ageing issues, chronic illness, and caregiving stress. Veronica offers practical support alongside listening.
She prefers a collaborative style - listening first, then suggesting changes that fit a person's daily life and cultural background. She aims to help people move forward at a pace that suits them.
How approaches like CBT and Mindfulness work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and to discover their own solutions, which suits issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them; it is often used for anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions in the moment and can be useful for relationship and attachment issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Veronica will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs and goals. The process is collaborative - goals and methods can be adapted as sessions progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travelling. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick updates, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
