About Veronica

Veronica Prieto draws on years of hands-on support work and four years as a practising counsellor. She brings practical experience from two decades helping carers of children with disabilities and vulnerable adults, alongside her counselling skills. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She lives in the United Kingdom and understands what it feels like to adapt to a new culture and language.

Background and approach

Her style is warm, friendly and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and finding a comfortable way to talk. Veronica helps people set clear goals and chooses approaches together based on each person’s needs.

She commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as parenting strain, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, career decisions and compassion fatigue. Veronica pays attention to multicultural issues, discrimination and challenges related to adoption, caregiving and ageing.

In sessions she helps clients identify practical steps and strengths to move forward. Techniques might include cognitive strategies to manage thoughts, emotion-focused work to improve connection with feelings, and mindfulness to reduce reactivity. Veronica aims to make therapy accessible and relevant to everyday life.

People can work with her in English or Spanish and she accepts international clients. Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Ways of working Veronica names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approach, choice and online sessions

Veronica commonly uses client-centred work to make space for each person’s priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them find their own solutions; it suits people who want a collaborative, person-led way of working.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns, and can be useful for immediate coping skills.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her approach for work that focuses on feelings and emotional connection. It helps people understand their emotional responses and to build more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation when that matters, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing or want ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and at different times.
