About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addictions and intimacy-related issues. She also works with clients on sleep, eating, parenting and career worries.
Prerna speaks English, Bengali and Hindi and offers sessions online for people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Prerna uses a warm, respectful approach that centres the person in the room. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to what feels manageable.
How Prerna works
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Her background includes five years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That experience informs her work with complex issues such as trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD and co-morbidity.
She pays close attention to how past experiences shape current patterns and difficulties. In sessions Prerna draws on client-centred methods alongside mindfulness and narrative ideas. She may also include somatic and trauma-focused techniques when they suit a person's goals.
These tools are used to help people notice their reactions, make different choices and rebuild a sense of control. Appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then choose a suitable time slot.
Prerna balances this practice with another weekday role, so session times are scheduled around her other commitments.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Prerna often uses client-centred work, which means she follows the person's lead and focuses on what matters most to them. This approach helps with relationship worries, self‑esteem and everyday stress by making space for honest conversation and reflection.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques can reduce anxiety symptoms, improve sleep and help with intense emotions by bringing awareness to the body and moment-to-moment experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Prerna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving or daily life.
