About Prachi
Prachi Vij is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of direct therapeutic experience and offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. Prachi speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Punjabi which can help people explain themselves in the language they prefer.
She uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns.
How Prachi works
Sessions focus on making sense of strong emotions, repeated reactions and relationship difficulties so people can make different choices in their lives. Prachi helps clients name and understand patterns rather than only managing symptoms. Prachi works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, mood disorders, attachment and post-traumatic stress.
She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, divorce and the pressures around pregnancy and childbirth. The practical aim is clearer understanding and steadier emotional responses. Her style is collaborative and reflective.
She listens carefully, asks questions that help uncover recurring themes, and offers observations that clients can test between sessions. Some people come for short-term help with a specific issue, while others choose longer work to look more deeply at recurring patterns. Sessions are offered in multiple formats to suit different needs.
People who choose to start therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Prachi's availability.

Online support options
Psychodynamic work and flexible online delivery
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape current emotions and relationships. It involves talking through recurring reactions, noticing repeated themes, and linking those patterns back to past events so people can respond differently in daily life.The therapist also focuses on exploring attachment and identity issues within sessions. This approach helps when people struggle with abandonment, relationship problems, grief or feelings of low self-worth by making internal patterns easier to recognise and work with.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and choose how deep or short-term the work should be together. Decisions about pace and focus are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video is useful for a conversation close to an in-person session, phone calls can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives and different schedules.
