As a registered psychologist and full member of the Australian Psychological Society, she works with children, adolescents, and adults, drawing on years of experience in Australia and internationally. Veronica utilises evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, and SFT, tailoring her approach to each patient’s needs. Her passion for holistic care is enhanced by her ongoing research in gut-brain conditions, and her fluency in both English and Spanish allows her to connect with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Veronica Engel holds appointments at leading institutions such as UNSW, Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAN), and Oclinic, where she provides psychological care for patients with gut-brain conditions and general mental health concerns. She is also affiliated with The Gut Centre, where she works alongside gastrointestinal specialists to support patients with conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). In addition to her clinical roles, Veronica is actively involved in research and has presented her findings on the psychological impact of gastrointestinal disorders at major hospitals and paediatric gastroenterology seminars.
