About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and anger. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, self-esteem concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and life changes. She speaks English, Bengali and Hindi, and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Prerna practises in a warm, respectful way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She places the person at the centre of the conversation and listens first before suggesting ways forward. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match the issue and the individual. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions focus on the client’s priorities. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing techniques to ease agitation and stress. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She balances therapy with another job during the week, so sessions are offered at set time slots that suit her schedule. She will discuss timing when you begin.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Prerna aims to make the process clear, practical and respectful. She will work with each person to create a plan that fits their goals and everyday life.

How her approaches can work online

Prerna often uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client; this means conversations start from your priorities and goals. Mindfulness Therapy adds short attention and breathing practices that help reduce anxious reactions and intense feelings in daily life. Narrative Therapy supports people to examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can shift how they respond to stress and relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend a way forward together. The choice of methods can change over time as issues evolve and progress is made.

The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, make it easier to keep appointments and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Discuss scheduling constraints upfront so sessions sit alongside other commitments and therapy stays practical and useful.
