About Prachi
Prachi Vij is a counsellor with a background in psychodynamic work who aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about difficult feelings and life choices. Prachi speaks English, Gujarati, Hindi and Punjabi and practises from the United Kingdom.
Prachi uses psychodynamic ideas to help people notice the patterns that shape their thoughts and relationships. Sessions invite reflection on how earlier life experiences may link to current struggles such as stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with self‑esteem.
Background and approach
The work is conversational and focused on understanding rather than quick fixes. Her approach is collaborative. Prachi and the person she works with explore recurring themes and unhelpful cycles together.
That may mean gently looking at difficult memories, noticing repeated reactions, and trying out new ways of relating to oneself and others. Prachi also supports people facing trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, issues around body image and feelings of isolation or shame. She helps people who are wrestling with life purpose, midlife change, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and mood disorder symptoms.
Sessions can be short term for practical problems or longer term for deeper exploration. People who choose her often want a thoughtful, reflective style that connects past experience to present life and helps build steadier emotional responses.

Approaches Prachi lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Prachi treats the choice of approach as a conversation. She will work with each person to decide whether psychodynamic work is a good fit and adapt the pace to your goals and tolerances. That decision is made together and may change as work progresses.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face dialogue for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check‑ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or when a written format feels easier.
These options give flexibility for different practical needs and communication styles, and they allow therapy to continue across distances for people in different locations or time zones.
