Veronica Prieto
Compassionate counsellor for life changes
About Veronica
Veronica Prieto trained as a counsellor and brings four years of professional practice to her work. She draws on earlier experience supporting carers and people with complex needs over two decades. Veronica speaks English and Spanish and is based in the United Kingdom.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on building trust so people feel able to talk honestly about hard topics. Veronica helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression using down-to-earth conversation and practical steps.
Background and approach
She supports those coping with grief, life changes, parenting pressures, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Her wider interests include identity issues such as LGBT concerns, multicultural pressures, and challenges linked to adoption, ageing or chronic illness. Sessions are collaborative.
Veronica will ask about what you want to change and what has helped before. She draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to create a plan that feels right for you. Goals are practical and revisited as work progresses.
People meet Veronica for short-term problem solving and for longer work on patterns that cause repeated distress. Conversations often include learning new coping strategies, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practising calmer responses to triggers. She also offers support around family tensions and relationship strain from an individual perspective.
Veronica’s earlier paid roles with carers and vulnerable adults shaped her practical outlook. That background informs how she talks about daily stressors and caregiving demands. She emphasises steady progress, small changes and realistic steps.
Therapy sessions can be held in English or Spanish and are offered online in a variety of formats. If you prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor, Veronica aims to make space for honest, practical work.

How Veronica’s approaches work online
Veronica uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person, offering attentive listening and reflection to help you make sense of your situation. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes that can reduce stress and anxiety.These ways of working are practical and adaptable to different problems. Client-centred listening helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques are useful for tackling anxiety, low mood and repetitive negative thoughts. Veronica will discuss these and agree together which methods feel most helpful for your goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with you to choose methods based on your needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative decision-making means the focus can shift if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet signals are weak, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, caregiving duties or travel, while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
