About Prachi
Prachi Vij is a counsellor who aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Prachi also works with trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and related issues such as attachment and abandonment worries.
She uses Psychodynamic Therapy to help people uncover patterns that link past experiences with present feelings. Sessions focus on noticing repeated responses and understanding how earlier relationships shape current reactions.
Background and approach
This approach allows for deeper reflection rather than quick fixes. Prachi describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients name patterns, talk through difficult emotions, and consider different ways of relating.
The work can include exploring identity, body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and struggles around life purpose. Her background includes four years of direct counselling experience and broader work across the mental health sector. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP.
Prachi offers sessions in English, Gujarati, Hindi and Punjabi and accepts people from outside the United Kingdom. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.
Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring emotions and relationships that trace back to earlier life experiences. It helps people see how old patterns influence current reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship struggles and persistent mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide whether psychodynamic work, shorter-term support, or another focus makes most sense. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and can suit deeper reflective work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps people concentrate. Live chat and text messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or other commitments.
