About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of other issues including grief, trauma, addictions and LGBT-related matters. She uses client-centred and mindfulness-based methods to help people talk through problems and build everyday coping skills. Prerna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Prerna’s way of working is conversational and practical. She listens to what matters most to each person and focuses on what can change now. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and practising simple mindfulness or grounding techniques to manage stress and emotion.

She also draws on narrative and somatic approaches where helpful. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and considers ways those stories can be reshaped. Somatic methods attend to bodily experience and can be useful when emotions are intense or when trauma has affected physical responses.

Prerna offers support for a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety and relationships, such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career stresses, bipolar and ADHD-related issues, and attachment or abandonment concerns. She also works with people facing adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics and caregiver stress.

She works in English, Bengali and Hindi and accepts international clients. Prerna balances this counselling work with another role during the week and therefore has limited time slots; clients are asked to check available session times when booking.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Prerna commonly uses client-centred work and mindfulness therapy in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them to explore feelings and make their own decisions. Mindfulness therapy teaches short attention and breathing exercises that reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration.

She also draws on narrative therapy when helpful. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and considers alternative perspectives, which can be useful for relationship issues, identity concerns and low self-esteem. These approaches can be combined depending on the problem and what the person prefers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will review needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and may change over time as different techniques are found useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments.
