About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, LGBT concerns, and anger among other issues. Sessions are conducted in English, Bengali and Hindi. Prerna balances counselling with another weekday job, so she offers sessions in set time slots.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses client-centred methods to listen first and follow the client’s lead. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with moment-to-moment regulation. Narrative work helps people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships.
Prerna also draws on somatic ideas to help clients notice how emotions show up in the body. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life. She explains options clearly and helps clients choose what feels most useful.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, concrete steps a person can try between meetings. She pays attention to communication patterns, control and attachment issues, and common life stressors like work pressure or parenting strain. Practical strategies for sleeping, eating, and managing urges are also available.
People contact her to sort through grief, addiction-related concerns, bipolar mood shifts, or changes such as adoption and blended family adjustments. The first meeting is used to map priorities and plan the next steps together.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following what matters to the client. In online work this means the counsellor asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set clear goals. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These practices can be taught and practised during a session and used between meetings to ease anger and anxiety.Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem by reworking the stories they tell about difficult events. Online conversations can guide clients to spot unhelpful themes and try small story-based experiments in daily life. Prerna will discuss which approaches feel most helpful and adapt as the work unfolds so the client and counsellor decide together what to try next.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week, planning meetings around work, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make it easier to keep regular sessions while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
