About Prachi

Prachi Vij is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Punjabi and international clients are welcomed.

Prachi uses psychodynamic therapy to look at the links between past experiences and present feelings. In sessions she helps people notice recurring patterns in relationships and mood. The work often involves talking about difficult memories and how they affect everyday choices.

People come to her for a range of concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, communication problems and feelings of isolation or guilt. She also supports those dealing with body image, midlife questions, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Her approach is collaborative and reflective. Practical steps and clearer understanding emerge from regular conversations about how old patterns show up now. Sessions can focus on short-term relief or on deeper, longer-term exploration depending on what the person wants.

Prachi’s background includes work across clinics, universities, schools and charities. She explains psychodynamic ideas plainly and helps people make sense of why certain feelings repeat. People receive straightforward explanations of the work and what each session will look like before they decide to continue.

How psychodynamic work fits with online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on feelings, relationships and patterns that repeat over time. It looks at how earlier experiences shape current emotions and interactions, and helps people understand recurring reactions such as anxiety around social situations or difficulty trusting others.

In practice this means talking through memories, noticing patterns in how feelings rise during conversations, and gently linking those moments to present-day worries. That style of work can suit issues like relationship strain, abandonment worries, self-esteem concerns and mood problems because it aims to reveal underlying causes rather than only managing immediate symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt the psychodynamic focus if other methods would better meet the person’s needs. Together they decide whether to aim for short-term coping strategies or longer-term depth work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during breaks, and remove travel time. Practical benefits include scheduling around work or family commitments and being able to meet from a familiar environment while keeping the focus on the work itself.
