Veronica Prieto , BACP

Veronica Prieto is a Spanish-born integrative counsellor based in central London who combines personal experience of settling into a new culture with a long history of practical care work. Having lived in central London for over 35 years, she understands the stress and anxiety that can come with learning a language and adapting to a different environment, and she brings that empathy into her therapeutic work.

Before qualifying as an integrative counsellor, Veronica spent more than 20 years providing practical and emotional support to carers of children with disabilities and to vulnerable adults. That frontline experience, together with her counselling training and four years of professional practice as a counsellor, gives her a broad base of knowledge to support clients through a range of life changes across different social, economic, and cultural backgrounds.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in both English and Spanish. Veronica values the connection and trust that develop between client and counsellor, and she adopts a warm, friendly, and non-judgemental style. In sessions she collaborates with clients to clarify preferences in therapeutic approach, set goals, and draw on individual strengths to support change and coping.

Veronica is accepting clients and is open to working with people from international locations, offering a supportive, person-focused approach to help navigate transitions and emotional challenges.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy

Veronica commonly draws on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping with issues like transitions, identity, and relationship concerns by building trust and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, low mood, and unhelpful patterns.

She may also incorporate mindfulness-based practices to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for stress and emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is treated as part of the therapeutic process - Veronica works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Veronica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide continuity of care and flexible scheduling so therapy can continue even when in-person sessions are not possible.
