Veronica Prieto, BACP

Veronica Prieto trained as an integrative counsellor and brings four years of clinical practice to her work. She is BACP-registered, speaks English and Spanish, and has lived in central London for more than three decades. Veronica draws on earlier roles supporting carers and vulnerable adults to inform her practical approach to emotional difficulties.

Her style is warm, friendly and non-judgemental. She focuses on building a trusting connection and on matching therapy to each person's preferences. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and uses their strengths to guide change.

Veronica regularly helps people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She also supports those facing parenting pressures, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and life transitions. Additional areas she works with include trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues linked to multicultural stress.

Her practice includes clinical approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, alongside Existential and Mindfulness-based methods. Veronica explains options and agrees on a style that fits each person's needs.

She accepts international clients and encourages people to be clear about their preferences during the first meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Veronica aims to offer practical emotional support rooted in everyday experience. She focuses on small, achievable steps that make life easier and feel more manageable.

How Veronica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a supportive relationship and being heard. It helps when people need a compassionate space to talk through worries and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work with strong emotions to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that may help. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as things change.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into everyday life. It can be easier to schedule appointments around work, caring duties or travel. Online sessions can also make it simpler to have a shorter check-in when needed, and to choose a mode that suits comfort with being on camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
