Veronica Prieto, BACP

Veronica Prieto is a Spanish-born integrative counsellor who has made central London her home for more than 35 years. Adapting to a new language and culture herself, she brings a personal understanding of the stress and anxiety that can arise while trying to fit in and settle into a different environment.

Prior to qualifying as a counsellor, Veronica spent over 20 years offering practical and emotional support to carers of children with disabilities and to vulnerable adults. That long experience working alongside families and carers informs her therapeutic work and complements her counselling skills, equipping her to support people facing a wide range of life changes regardless of social, economic, or cultural background.

She holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Veronica places strong value on the connection and trust that develop between therapist and client, and she encourages clients to find a counsellor whose personality and style feel like a good fit.

Her manner is warm, friendly, and non-judgemental. Within the therapeutic relationship she discusses clientsâ preferences in approaches, helps set collaborative goals, and works to identify and build on individual strengths to support meaningful change. She looks forward to working with clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Veronica commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and responds to help the client explore their feelings and values; it can be useful for building self-esteem and working through life transitions. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is often applied to issues such as anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Veronica and each client explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and she helps guide that collaborative decision so the therapeutic method suits the personâs needs and circumstances.

Online therapy with Veronica is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access across schedules and locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, making ongoing support more manageable alongside daily life.
