About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and related problems. She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar concerns, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Prerna uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the centre of conversations. She draws on mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away. Narrative work is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to open up other possibilities.
Her approach can also include somatic and trauma-focused methods when past events have left a strong physical or emotional imprint. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. The focus is on what is happening now and practical ways to manage it day to day.
Prerna practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, Bengali and Hindi. She works with adults on a range of life and mental health concerns and accepts international clients. She balances counselling with another job during the week and therefore keeps a limited set of session times.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches fit online counselling
Prerna commonly uses client-centred work and mindfulness in her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them talk things through at their own pace. Mindfulness practice involves simple attention exercises to notice thoughts and feelings and can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.She also uses narrative ideas to help people see the stories they tell about themselves and to explore different ways of understanding events. This can be useful for relationship problems, self-esteem and life changes. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Prerna will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree an approach together rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography did not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals like Prerna typically work with clients to find practical arrangements that fit day-to-day life.
