Prerna Nautiyal, BACP

Prerna Nautiyal helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction issues, intimacy and self-esteem worries. She also works with people facing parenting strain, sleeping or eating problems, ADHD and career transitions. Prerna speaks English, Bengali and Hindi and practises from the United Kingdom.

Prerna uses a conversational, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then tailors conversations and goals to what matters to each person. Her style is warm and practical, focused on small, manageable changes rather than jargon or long explanations.

Her work draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness to build daily coping skills and emotional awareness. She also uses narrative ideas to help people reframe painful stories, and somatic and trauma-focused techniques when past events show in the body or in recurring symptoms.

Prerna has five years of professional experience and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She combines that background with simple tools clients can try between sessions.

Sessions are arranged around set weekly time slots because Prerna has another role during the week. Before booking, people are encouraged to check current scheduling and session options so they can find a time that fits.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centred work puts the client's experience at the heart of therapy. It means the counsellor follows the client's concerns, reflects what matters most and helps set goals together. This approach is useful for stress, relationships and self-esteem worries.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage anxiety and mood. It helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations so they can respond more calmly to stress. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives and helps reframe unhelpful narratives to create more helpful meanings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then try approaches that fit the person. Decisions about methods are reviewed together as part of therapy rather than fixed from the start.

Please confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices between sessions in their everyday setting, which helps carry new skills into daily life.
