More about Veronica

Hi, my name is Veronica, I am Spanish and I have been living in central London for over 35 years. As I needed to learn a language and adapt to another culture, I understand and empathise with people experiencing stress and anxiety while they are trying to "fit in" and settle down in a new environment. Before becoming an integrative counsellor, I worked for over 20 years providing practical and emotional support for carers looking after children with disabilities and vulnerable adults.
My professional experience provides me with a wealth of knowledge, that added to my counselling skills, makes me well prepared to support clients going through a variety of life changes, whatever your social, economic or cultural background. I believe that one of the most important aspects of counselling is the connection and trust between a client and their counsellor. Therefore, finding a counsellor whose personality and style are a good fit for you is important.
My approach is friendly, warm, and non-judgemental. Within the therapeutic relationship, we will discuss together your preferences in therapeutic approaches and will develop goals. We will identify and tap into your strengths that will support your individual needs and move towards change.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Estoy muy contenta con ella. La recomiendo al 100% . Me esta ayudando mucho y cada sesión con ella es un paso adelante en mi recuperación.
Veronica helped me a lot with my social anxiety. She is very professional, a great listener with lots of practical tips that I've tried straight away. I have learnt a lot during 2 months of doing therapy with her and I feel confident now to take her advice and put it in practice. She was quick to reply to my messages, particularly when I was at work having a panic attack. She was there to advise me and I highly appreciated her support. I felt much better after each session with her and alongside crying we laughted a lot as well. My experience with this therapist was great and I highly recommend her.
Veronica is very kind, open and transparent. She has a lovely manner which makes her so easy to talk to, in comparison to other therapists she seems so organised and follows through on the things she says she'll do (worksheets etc). Her responses over messaging are really in depth and she seemed to "get" me straight away
She’s great, highly recommend
