About Veronica

Veronica Prieto is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. Veronica draws on four years of professional practice and two decades of earlier support work when helping people through difficult changes.

She spent over 20 years providing hands-on support for carers of children with disabilities and for vulnerable adults. That background shaped her practical outlook and gave her experience with real-world pressures like caregiving stress and long-term health challenges.

Background and approach

Veronica’s style is warm, friendly and non-judgemental. She focuses on building a trusting relationship and talks through each person’s preferences before agreeing shared goals. She looks for practical strengths clients already have and helps them use those strengths to make change.

Her work covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, relationship and family problems, trauma and issues linked to identity and discrimination. Additional areas include chronic illness, ADHD, adoption and multicultural concerns.

Veronica uses an integrative approach that includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She will discuss which approaches fit best for each person and shape sessions around individual needs and goals. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients can work with her.

She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people balancing busy lives.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with emotional patterns that affect how they feel and relate to others. It focuses on understanding core emotions and using that understanding to reduce distress and improve how someone manages relationships and attachment-related concerns.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects. This approach helps people feel heard, explore their own choices and build confidence to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and develop different coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what feels most helpful, try techniques together and adapt the plan as needs and goals change. Finding the right fit is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which gives flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can suit quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to work around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
