About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience in the UK. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, LGBT issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and codependency. Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi and international clients are accepted.
Prerna keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is hard right now, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on real-life choices - for example saying no more easily, handling someone else’s moods, or managing urges and cravings. Expect clear, concrete steps alongside reflective conversation.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working. That means the client’s view guides the pace and focus. She also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and anxiety, narrative methods to look at the stories people tell about themselves, and somatic and trauma-focused techniques where past hurts show up in the body.
Prerna aims to make practical changes feel manageable. She will work with clients to set small goals and try out different strategies between sessions. If a particular method does not feel helpful, she reviews it and adjusts the plan.
She balances this therapeutic role with another job during the week, so some session times are limited. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. Online sessions using this approach start with what matters most to the person and follow their pace to set goals and next steps. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, short practices to manage stress, grounding attention in breath or body sensations to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves. In online sessions this can mean naming unhelpful stories, testing alternative views, and practising different responses between meetings. Prerna will work with clients to find which combination of approaches feels most useful and will review this together as therapy progresses.
Check session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, as it can cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to practise skills in real life between sessions. The therapist will discuss how to structure session times so they suit your schedule and goals.
