About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and a wide range of other concerns including depression, addiction, trauma, grief and codependency. She speaks English, Bengali and Hindi, and works from the United Kingdom to support people in English and these South Asian languages. Prerna describes taking a respectful and compassionate approach and tailors conversations to each person's needs.
In sessions she aims to create a steady, calm space to talk through what is worrying someone right now. She invites people to set their own goals and to guide the pace of work. Practical steps and gentle exploration are combined so that clients can try out changes between sessions.
Prerna uses client-centred ideas that keep the person in focus. She also draws on mindfulness to help reduce reactivity and on narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories people tell themselves. Somatic and trauma-focused methods inform her work when past events affect the body or day-to-day functioning.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration from the UK, which appears on her profile as BACP. Prerna balances therapy with another weekday role and offers sessions within particular time slots because of that schedule.
Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to support people through that process with warmth and practical direction. Prospective clients are encouraged to check session times and language options when they enquire.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own concerns and choices first. Online sessions using this approach tend to focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters to them, which suits worries about relationships, stress and self-esteem.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Online sessions can introduce short exercises and routines people can use between meetings to manage anxiety or sleeplessness.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from negative stories they keep repeating. Through guided conversation a client can reframe experiences and notice alternative meanings that support healthier choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss different methods and work collaboratively to decide what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That can mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting if something else feels better.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use different languages such as Bengali or Hindi if that helps communication.
