About Prerna

Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges and money-related pressures. She also supports those coping with depression, grief, trauma and issues linked to identity such as LGBT concerns. Prerna aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk about what matters to them and start making small, practical changes.

Prerna uses a person-centred way of working, so sessions follow the individual's needs and pace. She draws on mindfulness to help manage stress and anxiety, and narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are added when past events have left a lasting physical or emotional impact.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Prerna balances another role during the week, so she offers sessions at particular times that fit her schedule.

Prerna speaks English, Bengali and Hindi, which can help when cultural context matters in conversations about family, work or money. She encourages clear, realistic goals and a collaborative plan for change.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and times. Prerna works with people across a range of challenges and focuses on practical steps as well as emotional understanding.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means conversations follow your needs, with the counsellor reflecting back what matters to you and helping you decide the next steps. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions, which can help with anxiety, sleep and anger. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try out different ways of understanding difficult events or relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques. Together you will decide which ideas to try first and adjust the plan as things change.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a counsellor who speaks your language, which can be useful when money, family or cultural issues are important.
