About Prerna
Prerna Nautiyal is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She works with clients facing relationship and family concerns, LGBT-related issues, addictions, trauma and grief. She communicates in English, Bengali and Hindi and sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Prerna prefers a warm, respectful style. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a one-way prescription. Her approach draws on several methods. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the client's pace and priorities.
Mindfulness techniques help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories might change. Prerna also uses somatic and trauma-focused ideas when needed to help with the physical and emotional effects of difficult experiences.
These methods support stronger emotional regulation and a clearer sense of safety after distressing events. She brings five years of practical experience in counselling to her work. She explains what to expect at the first meeting and helps clients choose goals that feel manageable.
Because Prerna has another weekday role, she offers sessions in specific time slots and asks people to schedule according to those times. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting immediately. These techniques can reduce rumination and ease anxiety and depressive symptoms by creating space to choose responses.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. By separating a person from a problem, it becomes easier to spot new possibilities and build alternative, more helpful narratives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, try methods that fit a person's goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process shaped by the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and keep a conversational flow similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the day of a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for brief check-ins, written reflection and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
