About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, grief, sleep and eating struggles, and life changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges.
Prerna uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's own priorities and experience. She draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and make small changes that fit their day-to-day life. Somatic and trauma-focused approaches are used when past experiences affect the body or current coping feels overwhelmed.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Prerna aims to listen first, then work with each person to agree clear steps and experiments to try between meetings. She balances short-term ways to manage symptoms with deeper work on beliefs, relationships and identity where needed.
She speaks English, Bengali and Hindi, which can help if someone prefers to explore issues in those languages. Prerna combines regular clinical work with another weekday role, so session times are scheduled in specific slots.
People considering counselling are asked to use the platform's matching and booking process. That starts with a short questionnaire and then a chance to book an initial session. The subscription model applies to sessions and can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person decide what to focus on next, which suits young adults working through transitions and relationship issues.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques are useful for anxiety, sleep problems and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they tell about their life. By examining these narratives the person can discover different perspectives and test new ways of acting in work, relationships and identity questions.
Finding the best approach tends to be a collaborative process. Prerna will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This can mean starting with practical steps, then adding deeper trauma-focused or somatic work when it feels right.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or commuting. They also allow for shorter check-ins when days are hectic or options that do not require being on camera for the whole time, helping therapy to slot into everyday life without extra travel.
