About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship concerns. She supports those facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, body image and LGBT-related difficulties. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, eating worries, anger and low self-esteem.

Prerna uses a gentle, respectful approach. She listens first and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to make small, practical changes that help day-to-day life. She encourages realistic steps toward better rest, clearer boundaries and steadier mood.

Her approach draws on client-centred work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and build helpful routines. Narrative ideas are used to rewrite negative stories people tell themselves. Somatic and trauma-focused methods support those who hold stress in their bodies.

Prerna has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with people in English, Bengali and Hindi. She also accepts international clients.

She balances counselling with another weekday role, so sessions are scheduled in specific time slots. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following your concerns. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to work through sleep troubles, stress or relationship issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce worry and support better rest. These practices are useful for anxiety, nightly rumination and calming the nervous system.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. Reframing those stories can reduce shame and open new ways to cope with grief, identity questions or life changes. The therapist will explain these approaches in clear terms and check what feels useful for you.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with you to pick methods that match your goals, preferences and daily routine. That decision is collaborative and can change as you progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, make shorter check-ins possible and remove travel time. It can also make it easier to try mindfulness exercises together or to reflect on personal stories in the moment.
