Veronica is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at the Stradwick Psychology & Neurofeedback Clinic. She works with adolescents and adults who may appear to be coping well externally while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. She supports clients navigating chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the lasting impact of early relational experiences. Many of the clients she works with find themselves caught in patterns of overthinking, perfectionism, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or over-functioning in relationships, and are seeking a new way of relating to themselves and others. She also works with neurodivergent adolescents and adults, particularly where masking, burnout, or challenges with identity and self-understanding are present.

Her approach is attachment- and trauma-informed, integrating parts work, somatic and nervous system-based strategies, and evidence-based therapies including ACT, CBT, and person-centered therapy. Veronica’s work is collaborative, relational, and paced with care, grounded in the belief that many patterns make sense in the context of one’s lived experience. Therapy is a space to slow down, make sense of difficulties, and move toward greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and more sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.

In addition to individual therapy for adolescents and adults, Veronica offers a limited number of child-centered play therapy spaces for children aged 8–12. This work supports children navigating ADHD, autism, stress, and difficult life experiences, with a focus on emotional safety, regulation, and connection.

“My first priority is creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel genuinely heard and accepted. This foundation fosters the trust and openness needed to explore your concerns in a meaningful way. Together, we’ll work at your pace to understand your experiences and identify the direction for therapy. Whether you’re facing a current challenge, working through past trauma, or trying to better understand yourself, our work will be guided by what is most meaningful to you. A common misconception about therapy is that you have to be in crisis to seek it out. This is not the case as therapy can be a space to foster self-growth, enhance relationships, and can even be a form of self-care.”
