About Veronica
Veronica Prieto is a counsellor with four years' experience who combines practical know-how with a warm, down-to-earth manner. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on a long history of supporting carers and vulnerable people before moving into counselling. Veronica aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and clear.
Having lived in central London for many years and adapting to a new language and culture, she understands the stress of settling into a different environment.
Background and approach
That experience informs her work with concerns such as anxiety, loneliness, and pressures around identity and belonging. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find clearer ways forward. Her style is friendly, warm and non-judgemental.
Sessions begin by discussing what the person wants to achieve and which ways of working suit them best. Veronica focuses on building trust and on practical steps that fit into someone’s everyday life. She uses several approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focussed techniques, existential reflection and mindfulness.
These methods are adapted to the individual rather than applied as a fixed recipe. The emphasis is on using a simple mix of conversation and practical tools to reduce stress and improve coping. Typical areas she supports include stress, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and eating concerns, as well as career and life transitions.
Veronica also works with multicultural and discrimination-related difficulties and a range of long-term health or caregiving stresses. People can expect collaborative planning, short-term goals when useful, and space to explore deeper issues when needed. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and can work with international clients by offering sessions in English or Spanish.

Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns into smaller steps. In remote sessions this often means setting simple tasks between appointments, trying new behaviours, and reviewing what worked to reduce anxiety, low mood or stress.
Emotionally-focussed therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with important emotions that affect close relationships and self-worth. Online conversations can be used to map emotional patterns and practise different ways of responding that improve connection with others and with oneself.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Veronica will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when seeing facial cues matters, phone can fit into a shorter break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different places and at different times while keeping therapeutic work practical and focused.
