Veronica Prieto, BACP

Veronica Prieto draws on a long history of practical support work and four years as a counsellor. She grew up in Spain and has lived in central London for more than 35 years, so she understands the stress of adapting to a new language and culture. Veronica is warm and approachable and aims to build a trusting connection from the first sessions.

Before training as an integrative counsellor, she spent over 20 years providing hands-on help to carers of children with disabilities and to vulnerable adults. That background shapes her plain-speaking style and her focus on practical help for everyday problems. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, self-esteem, and coping with life changes including midlife crisis.

Veronica uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She invites people to talk through what feels most pressing and sets simple, achievable goals together. Sessions often focus on identifying strengths and building small, steady steps toward change.

Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating problems, career and money worries, and neurodiversity topics such as autism and ADHD. Veronica offers help with multicultural issues, discrimination, and the emotional toll of caregiving.

She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so clients feel heard and respected; it helps with low self-esteem, anxiety and making decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and understand strong emotions and is often used when relationship feelings or deep emotional pain are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica discusses different methods with each person and together they decide which fits best. That decision is guided by the client's goals, preferences and what feels most useful in the room.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that doing practical CBT exercises or emotion-focused conversations remotely still supports progress, and the therapist will adapt methods to your needs and day-to-day routine.
