About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety and related life concerns. She works with issues such as relationship strain, family conflict, grief, trauma and challenges around identity. Prerna uses a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
Prerna keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgement and adapts the conversation to match individual needs. That can mean talking through unhelpful patterns, trying grounding or body-based techniques, or exploring personal stories that shape how someone feels now.
Background and approach
Her way of working draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches alongside narrative and somatic ideas. That means clients lead the pace, and practical ways to notice and manage feelings are introduced where helpful. Sessions often involve simple exercises to reduce overwhelm and build small, steady changes.
Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration with practice in the United Kingdom. She balances this role with another job and offers appointments in certain time slots during the week. Sessions are offered in English, Bengali and Hindi.
She supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career stress and neurodiversity-related topics. The aim is to help people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
Approaches for online support and practical coping
Prerna draws on client-centred ways of working and mindfulness techniques to support people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, letting the client set the pace and priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through worries or life decisions.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase calm. These practices can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by teaching ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting pulled into them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques over time. This is a collaborative process where the person’s experience guides the plan.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit everyday life. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls work well when less bandwidth is available, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and other commitments.
