Veronica Prieto, BACP

Veronica Prieto brings four years of counselling experience alongside two decades of earlier work supporting carers of children with disabilities and vulnerable adults. She is Spanish and has lived in central London for over 35 years, so she understands the stresses of adapting to a new language and culture. Veronica is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. Her professional background gives her practical insight into caregiver stress, disability-related challenges, and multicultural adjustment. She combines that experience with a warm, non-judgemental counselling style. Sessions focus on building a trusting connection and agreeing clear goals together. Veronica uses approaches chosen with each person in mind. She helps people identify strengths and small steps they can use between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making daily life more manageable. People often come to her with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, relationship worries, or work and career concerns. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, ageing and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care questions, and identity or discrimination-related stress. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Veronica aims to be approachable and practical while tailoring therapy to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Veronica draws on client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person, helping conversations stay focused on the client's perspective and goals. This approach is useful for people who want a therapist who listens and adapts to their pace and priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and helps people try practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or stress. CBT often includes small exercises to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Veronica will discuss options and help decide which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as work progresses.

Details about session formats are not specified in the available biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to schedule around work and caregiving commitments.
