About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people who are coping with stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT-related concerns, depression, addiction and grief. Her language skills include English, Bengali and Hindi.
Prerna keeps conversations direct and practical. She listens for what matters most and helps people organise their thoughts and options. Sessions focus on small steps that can make day-to-day life easier, such as managing worry, improving sleep, or handling tense conversations.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods and mindfulness to build clearer self-awareness. Narrative techniques are used to help people reframe difficult events and identify different ways of telling their story. When trauma or strong bodily reactions are present, she may use somatic and trauma-focused methods to address physical as well as emotional responses.
Prerna aims to work collaboratively on goals you set together. She explains ideas plainly and checks progress regularly so adjustments can be made. She also recognises practical limits on scheduling, due to a separate weekday role, and asks people to confirm session times when they book.
People interested in starting are advised to complete the service questionnaire and then arrange a first meeting. The initial steps are kept simple so people can see how the sessions feel before committing to a longer plan.
How certain approaches are used online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what you say. Online sessions make it possible to keep that focus while you describe concerns and priorities. This helps when the goal is clearer communication, managing anxiety, or improving relationships.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress in everyday moments. Practising these techniques during an online meeting can help people notice how thoughts and feelings arise without getting overwhelmed. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and offers ways to reframe those stories to reduce shame or blame.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try different ways of working until you both find what helps. That collaboration means methods can be combined or adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can help match session style to your schedule and practical needs.
