About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges. She also helps with grief, addiction concerns, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Prerna works with clients who have ADHD and a range of family and parenting worries, and she can converse in English, Bengali and Hindi.

Prerna aims for respectful and compassionate conversation. She listens first, then shapes sessions around what the person says they need. That approach means practical steps can be agreed as therapy progresses, rather than a rigid plan up front.

Her practice draws on client‑centred ideas, where the client’s experience leads the pace and focus of work. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage anxiety and upset in the moment. Narrative and somatic approaches are included when helpful to make sense of difficult memories and bodily stress responses.

Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP credentials, which are noted as part of her background. She balances this work alongside another role during the week, so session times are offered in certain time slots.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times. The therapist uses a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Step 3

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Client‑centred therapy puts the person’s experience first and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. Online this can mean focusing each meeting on the immediate concerns the person brings and setting practical next steps to try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgement. Practising these techniques during online sessions can help with anxiety, sleeping difficulties and stress management in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt the style as therapy progresses so it feels helpful and manageable.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting appointments into busy routines and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also allow shorter check‑ins when people need a quick review, or calmer settings when someone prefers not to attend in person. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
